Lower Fat Vegan Carrot Cake

modified

• Ready In: 1 hr 20 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 2  cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 2  teaspoons baking soda
• 2  teaspoons baking powder
• 1  tablespoon cinnamon
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 2  cups  grated carrots
• 1  cup soymilk
• 2  cups applesauce
• 1⁄2 cup maple syrup, Grade B
• 2  tablespoons stevia
• 1⁄2 cup  crushed walnuts

Directions

1. First, mix all dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl: flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, stevia, and salt.
2. Next, grate the carrots. I use a food processor instead of grating them by hand. Once this is done, preheat the oven to 350°F.
3. Add the carrots and the rest of the ingredients except for the walnuts to the flour mixture. Mix until "just mixed." Last, mix in the walnuts.
4. Transfer to a greased 13x9x2 pan. Bake for 40-50 min at 350F until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
5. Cool on a counter for 30 min and then frost with cream cheese frosting.
6. Serves: 12 (large slices).
