One of my best friends asked me if I wanted to make a vegan carrot cake for her son’s first birthday. Even though it was a while that I made one I told her I could do it and it was well executed! This cake is gluten/sugar-free and vegan. Here is the recipe.

Recipe 

• 2 cups buckwheat flour
• 1/2 coconut sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp cinnamon powder
• 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
• 1/4 nutmeg powder
• The amount of 3 eggs made with chia seed (read below how I made it)
• 1 cup applesauce (unsweetened no sugar added)
• 1 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp almond extract
• 3/4 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
• 1/2 cup raisins

 

1. Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C)
2. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl
3. Mix wet ingredients in another bowl
4. Add wet and dry ingredients together and mix until combined
5. Add the raisins and shredded carrots
6. Grease a cake pan (I used cold pressed coconut oil)
7. Pour mix into the pan
8. Bake in the oven for around 35 minutes

 

Chia seed instead of eggs

• 3 Tbs chia seed
• 6 Tbs water
• Mix together.
• Let it soak for 10 minutes
