Vegan Applesauce Carrot Cake image

This recipe is the best Vegan Carrot Cake recipe I've ever tasted. Its delicious and unique in that you pre-cook a few of the ingredients which I think accounts for the moistness of this cake. I've changed a few things to suit my own tastes. This cake is quite deep and very heavy. I like to frost it with a Vegan Cream Cheese Icing. The original recipe was found on recipe.com

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups raisins
2 cups carrots (grated)
2 cups water (filtered)
2 egg substitute (I used ener-G)
1 1/4 cups maple syrup
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups spelt flour or 3 cups unbleached flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup walnuts (chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease a 9-inch spring form pan with spray oil.
  • In a large sauce pan, simmer the raisins and grated carrots in the water over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove and put in a large bowl.
  • Add the oil, apple sauce, egg replacers, syrup, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and salt. Stir the mixture well.
  • In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking soda and walnuts together. Stir this dry mixture into the carrot raisin mixture.
  • Don't over mix this.
  • Pour into your spring form pan (you can use a 9-inch square pan if you wish) and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Use a wooden kabob stick to test this cake. A toothpick is not long enough.
  • Once this is done cool on a metal rack and turn onto a plate.

This vegan carrot cake is incredibly moist and fluffy, with a perfectly balanced blend of spices. The applesauce adds a subtle sweetness and keeps the cake moist for days.
