Simple Vegan Carrot Cake for a Special Occasion
Ingredients
  • This vegan carrot cake recipe is able to be egg-free and dairy-free with just a few simple swaps.
  • subheading: First, the dry ingredients are quite straightforward:
  • White all purpose flour
  • Baking powder
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Cloves
  • Although I prefer to bake with less refined flours whenever I can, I decided to make this cake with white flour. My goal with this cake is to make it as similar to a traditional cake as possible. And… a carrot cake should always have a good dash of spice!
  • subheading: Second, the wet ingredients are:
  • One flax egg (made from 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed and 3 tablespoon water)
  • Applesauce
  • Vegetable oil
  • Cane sugar
  • Maple syrup
  • Vanilla Extract
  • And of course… the grated carrot!
  • If you have never baked with a flax egg before, Cookie Kate has a great blog post with everything you need to know about using ground flaxseed as an egg substitute! Flaxseed is a great seed to have in your pantry because it packs in a ton of nutrition and can be simply sprinkled on things like yogurt and oatmeal. Plus, add water and it becomes an egg substitute in your baking!
  • subheading: HOW TO MAKE A FLAX EGG:
  • subheading: To make a flax egg you only need two ingredients and 5 minutes:
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 3 tablespoon water
  • Mix them together,
  • Let stand 5 minutes,
  • And your flaxseed will create a gooey texture with binding power similar to an egg!
