Rui – I’m glad you found inspiration from my recipe! It seems that this recipe lends itself well to adjustments, probably why I like it so much myself…

I used whole flour instead of spelt, coffee flavored soy milk, almonds instead of walnuts, and doubled the cinnamon. :) Used less sugar in the frosting, hope people will like it a bit more bitter. I recommend also using a flat tin to get a cake like the picture and to give the frosting a chance to even out. The temperature is also too high, you will get better results with 180 or 190 and 40/45 minutes.

I guess cutting further the sugar in half, using not so finely grated carrots and replacing soy milk with oat milk couldn’t really change the outcome, but I’m still happy that mine almost looks like the one in this picture, which is something that hardly ever happens to me. And it’s really-really delicious and still very moist although I made it yesterday. This is a pleasingly simple and very good recipe, thanks a lot!

Thanks for a great recipe! I made a gluten free version the other day. Hope you don’t mind me posting the recipe again (with my alterations) :)

That looks so yummy! I haven’t had cake for ages that I dreamt of making one the other day (I dunno how to make vegan cakes in real life). That dream vegan cake was really disgusting I woke up feeling I want to puke.

Alice: I’ve fed this to non-vegans many many times, and everyone always liked it! Actually, I’ve brought this cake to my summer job farewell parties on two occasions, and my co-workers were very impressed. There was 1,5 dl more oil and 1 dl more sugar then… But the taste was the same, texture in this version is just a little lighter.

Celine – I’ll have to check out the vegweb cake, there might be room for another carrot cake recipe in my life!

I usually make vegweb’s naked carrot cake, but I will definitely try your appealing version!
