How To Make Vegan Carrot Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans or three 6-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the carrots, oat or almond milk, melted butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. Add in the baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Finally, mix in the oat flour and the all purpose flour. Pour the batter into the cake pans and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. You will know it is done when the cakes are risen through the center and golden around the edges.
  • While the cakes are baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix the vegan cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar. Set aside.
  • Allow the cakes to cool before frosting. Decorate and enjoy!

Notes

Wrap any leftovers in plastic wrap and store on the counter for about 2 days or in the fridge for about 1 week. Any longer than that and you can freeze it in a freezer-safe, airtight container for up to about 3 months.
