Prepare your taste buds for a delightful journey with our Vegan Carrot Cake topped with rich and creamy Chocolate Icing. This moist and flavorful cake is the perfect treat for any occasion, and it’s completely dairy-free! Let’s get baking!
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:
- Start by preheating your oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit).
- In a blender, combine the grated carrots, vegan milk, and vegetable oil. Blend until you have a smooth and creamy carrot mixture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, sugar, and baking powder. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly.
- 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.
- Grease a cake tray with oil and dust it with a bit of flour to prevent sticking.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared tray, spreading it evenly.
- 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:
- 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.
- Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it becomes thick and creamy. This usually takes just a few minutes.
Assembly:
- 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.
- Decorate the cake with any additional toppings of your choice, such as grated carrots or chopped nuts, if desired.
- Slice your Vegan Carrot Cake and savor each bite of this moist and flavor-packed treat!
