Vegan Carrot Cake and Frosting

I wanted to share the recipe I used to make a vegan carrot cake just last weekend that was a hit with both vegetarians and meat eaters...

Cake Ingredients:

3 Cups shredded carrots

1 1/4 Cup of sugar

2 Cups flour

1/2 Teaspoon of salt

2 Teaspoons of baking powder

1/2 Teaspoon of baking soda

2 Teaspoons of cinnamon

1/2 Cup of orange juice

3/4 Cup of canola oil

1 Cup of raisins

1 Cup of Chopped walnuts

Vegan Frosting:

1/4 Cup Tofutti cream cheese or other kind of soy cream cheese

1/4 Cup vegan margarine

2 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix all the dry ingredients together with a ladle or spoon.
• Then mix in the carrots and the oil to the dry ingredients.
• Add the orange juice and mix it all together.
• Fold in the nuts and raisins
• Grease pan with cooking spray or oil.
• Put the batter into cake pan.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until knife/toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.
• Let cool completely
• Beat cream cheese and margarine together.
• Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla together with hand mixer.
• When cake is completely cool, slather on frosting over the top of the cake as desired.
• Add designs for fun.

Enjoy!
