This is a delicious alternative recipe to traditional carrot cake, and it’s a version of vegan carrot cake that is sure to delight all palates. Do you want to try it?
We all like the classic version of the dessert, but processed ingredients such as white sugar, refined flour, pasteurized milk and cream cheese today are best avoided, some are even called white poisons. This vegan carrot cake recipe is made with healthy whole foods, also, if you are intolerant to gluten, you can be happy, since this cake is also for you.
Most recipes call for carrot pulp (after putting the carrots through a juicer) but this cake considers the whole carrot including the juice of its fiber, this way you can keep the tasty juices in the cake or pie. This cake is a little less dense because it’s not 100% oats and nuts, it’s mostly carrots in their natural form: whole and raw.
It is decorated with pistachios, nuts and dried edible flowers. It is also recommended to sprinkle a little cinnamon and maybe coconut. Cashew cream cheese is simply delicious.
