Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 3 carrots (about 350g), peeled and grated
  • 390 g plain flour
  • 400 g sugar
  • 90 g vegetable oil
  • 250 g vegan milk
  • 20 g baking powder

For the Chocolate Icing:

  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp vegan butter
  • 120 ml vegan milk

Instructions:

For the Cake:

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit).
  2. In a blender, combine the grated carrots, vegan milk, and vegetable oil. Blend until you have a smooth and creamy carrot mixture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, sugar, and baking powder. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Pour the carrot mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to combine everything until you have a smooth and well-mixed cake batter. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate all the dry ingredients.
  5. Grease a cake tray with oil and dust it with a bit of flour to prevent sticking.
  6. Pour the cake batter into the prepared tray, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 55 minutes or until a toothpick or fork inserted into the center comes out clean. This indicates that your cake is perfectly baked and moist.

For the Chocolate Icing:

  1. While the cake is cooling, let’s prepare the indulgent chocolate icing. In a small pot, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, vegan butter, and vegan milk.
  2. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it becomes thick and creamy. This usually takes just a few minutes.

Assembly:

  1. Once your carrot cake has cooled down, generously spread the decadent chocolate icing over the top of the cake. You can use a spatula or a butter knife to create a smooth and even layer.
  2. Decorate the cake with any additional toppings of your choice, such as grated carrots or chopped nuts, if desired.
  3. Slice your Vegan Carrot Cake and savor each bite of this moist and flavor-packed treat!
