Dessert, the vegan way!

Vegan Carrot Cake with Delicate Frosting

This vegan carrot cake is easy to make, yet moist and aromatic. Although it goes well with vanilla frosting, it is just as nice on its own. Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee and not too devastating on the waistline!

RECIPE

CARROT CAKE

Wet ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup / 120 g carrots, coarsely grated
- 1/2 + 1/8 cup / 120 g brown sugar
- 1/2 cup + 1 heaped tablespoon apple sauce*
- 1/4 + 1/8 cup / 90 ml olive oil

Dry ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup / 165 g sifted wholemeal flour
- 1 level tsp baking soda
- 1 level tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger

VANILLA-ORANGE FROSTING
- 75 g cashews, soaked overnight
- 6 tbsp silken tofu
- 1 orange (you’ll need 5 tbsp juice + zest of 1/2 orange)
- 4 tsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup or other liquid sweetener
- 1/2 vanilla pod, seeds scraped
- chopped pistachios, for decoration

Method:

CAKE:
1. Set the oven to 180° C/ 356F. Line a 2lb cake tin (dimensions: 18,5cm x 8cm x 6cm) with a piece of baking parchment or grease it.

2. In a bowl mix together all wet ingredients. In another bowl, mix together all dry ingredients.

3. Slowly tip the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and incorporate everything together but, like with all batters, be careful not to over mix.

4. Spoon the batter (yes, it’s meant to be that thick) into a baking tin. Bake for 50-60 mins depending on your oven. It’s done when a toothpick comes out fairly clean.

ICING:
5. Drain and rinse soaked cashews. Put them into a food processor to grind into a smooth paste.

6. Add in silken tofu and all other ingredients. Process some

more.
7. Put the icing into the fridge for a few hours so that it thickens. It won’t be as thick as an icing made with margarine and icing sugar, but it will stay on the cake.

"Because it's natural" - one of the most common justifications for eating meat. But have you really thought about that claim?

The fact that a behavior (i.e. eating animals) is common in nature is insufficient to demonstrate the moral rightness of the behavior.
