Raw Vegan Carrot Cake
(source here)
Ingredients:
- 2 C oat flour (made by processing rolled oats in a blender)
- 2 C pulp from 6-8 juiced carrots
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 C dates finely chopped or ground
- 1 C nuts chopped
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3 TBsp honey
Other things I added in:
- extra salt to taste
- extra honey or agave to taste
- lots of raisins
- lots of cinnamon! (how could a carrot cake recipe NOT have cinnamon??)
- 1/2 C extra nuts
- 2 TBSp coconut oil
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 2 cups cashews, soaked (raw)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons dates, soaked
- 1 tablespoon coconut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or half a vanilla bean)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
For Cake:
Mix all the ingredients together well. Knead and form into 2 rolls for slicing or layers for a cake. Make one layer of a cake & cover with frosting. Place second cake layer on top and cover whole cake with frosting.
For Frosting:
Put all ingredients in a high-powered blender and process until smooth and creamy. (I will probably use my little food processor and a rubber spatula.).
