Vegan Carrot Cake
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Step 2
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the shredded carrots, applesauce, vegetable oil, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
Step 5
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6
Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
Step 7
Prepare the Frosting: While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the vegan cream cheese and vegan butter until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined and fluffy.
Step 8
Frost the Cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake. You can also frost the sides if desired.
Step 9
Serve: Slice the cake and serve. Enjoy your delicious vegan carrot cake!
