    Default The Vegan Carrot Cake Recipe Collection

    I loooooved carrot cake before I became vegan (nearly 6 years ago). Lately I`ve been longing for a piece of carrot cake so badly that I`ve being obsessed with it, and yesterday I saw the latest Satya Magazine with a beautiful picture of a slice of carrot cake on the front page. But to my disappoinment no recipe followed. So can anyone save me?

    Default carrot cake

    this is from the 'meals without squeals' cookbook.
    even the carnies love it!!

    160z wholemeal flour
    2 tsp mixed spice
    2 tsp baking powder
    8oz finely grated carrot
    pinch salt
    8o fl oz sunflower oil
    8 fl oz apple or orange juice
    12oz brown sugar
    finely grated rind and juice of 1 orange

    oven at gas 2/150C/300F. grease and line a square baking tin

    mix all ingredients and beat together.
    pour into tin and bake for approx 45mins. cover if getting too brown too early.
    cool in tin and cut up.

    i made a vegan 'butter' icing for the top with marge, vanilla essence, icing sugar and a dollop of tofutti plain 'cream cheese'.

    mixed spice is sold in most supermarkets in the spice/dried herb sections.

    its a pre-made mix of cinnamon, coriander, nutmeg, clove and ginger.

    Well, here it is Marie :0) You can substitute things like making sure the sugar is vegan etc... but this is the basis of it :0) WHOOPS!!! half the cake has gone already hehehe!!!

    Date and Walnut Cake

    300g (11oz) Self Raising Flour
    300ml (10 floz) soya Milk
    150g (5oz) Dates, chopped
    110g (4oz) Dark Muscovado Sugar
    50g (2oz) Walnuts, chopped
    4 tbsp Sunflower Oil
    2 tsp Ground Mixed Spice
    Walnut halves - to decorate

    Pre-heat oven to 180°C: 350°F: Gas 4.
    Grease and line a 1kg (2lb) loaf tin with marged greaseproof paper.
    Sift the flour and spice together into a bowl.
    Add the dates and walnuts and mix.
    Add the soya milk, muscovado sugar and oil, stir thoroughly.
    Spoon the mixture into the tin and place the walnut halves on top.
    Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and firm.
    Turn out on to a wire rack to cool, after having removed the lining paper.

    Hope you enjoy it when you make it, I doubled it and put it in a cake tin instead, to make a huge cake as I have a hungry family <grin>

    Could you use the excess pulp that comes off as a by-prduct from juicing do you think? I'm always wondering what to do with that stuff, seems such a waste to throw it away!

    I'm thinking of getting a breadmaker and adding various pulp to loaves to see what it tastes like too

    Yes you can! I have had good results using carrot, zucchini, ginger and apple this way (veg remains such as celery, carrots, zucchini, beets, kale etc. can be used in a savory 'neatloaf').

    I made this carrot cake not so long ago.. It's the best vegan cake I've ever made...!!!

    Carrot Cake

    Ingredients:

    2-1/4 cups all purpose flour
    2 teaspoon baking soda
    2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 teaspoon allspice
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    ½ to 3/4 cup brown sugar
    ½ to 3/4 cup regular sugar
    3 egg equivalent in Ener-G egg replacer
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    ½ cup vegetable oil
    2 cups finely grated carrots
    1 can (about 14 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
    1 cup shredded coconut
    nuts and raisins optional

    Directions:

    Note: if you don't have Ener-G egg replacer, use some mashed banana, conserve some of the oil and add some extra baking soda.

    Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, spice, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, mix sugar and eggs until creamy (works best with an electric mixer) - add vanilla, then add vegetable oil. Mix wet and dry ingredients together and add carrots, pineapple, and coconut.

    I prefer a thicker cake, so I used a 9x9 glass pan. But if you prefer thinner cake with more servings, use a 13x9. Grease pan. Smooth batter into pan. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Be sure to let the cake adequately cool before frosting.

    Frost it with the frosting of your liking

    Enjoy

    this is my own recipe:

    Ingredients:

    1.5 c. flour = 188g
    10 ml cinnamon
    1 ml ground cloves
    2 ml nutmeg
    1 ml ginger
    some grated orange peel
    2 tsp. baking powder
    200 g brown sugar
    0.5 tsp. salt
    6 tbsp. canola oil
    1 tbsp. vinegar
    1 tsp. vanilla essence
    2 tbsp margarine
    1 c. cold water = 250ml
    335 ml grated carrots
    35 g chopped walnuts

    Glaze:

    3 tablespoons sugar
    2 tablespoons water
    &#188; teaspoon lemon juice


    How to Prepare:

    1. preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
    2. put flour, orange peel, spices, baking powder, sugar & salt in bowl and mix
    3. make 3 holes in the dry mix, and in one hole pour oil, then in other vinegar, then vanilla in other, and add margarine
    4. pour part of the water over, then mix and repeat until dough has the right consistency. You might not need all the water
    5. fold in the carrots and walnuts
    6. pour in greased cake pan and bake at 180 for about 30 min. or so
    7. Heat the sugar and water together for the glaze in a small saucepan. Boil 1 minute, remove from the heat, and add the lemon juice. While the cake is hot, brush it all over with the sugar glaze.

    if u want icing i suppose u can use vegan cream cheese with icing sugar, or ground cashews/almonds with icing sugar and a little bit of lemon juice, but i always do it without the icing. that's why i put the glaze on, but i suppose that isn't essential either.

    if you like your cake to be sweeter, increase the amount of sugar...i've noticed there's quite a difference between the american and the european tastebuds

    I think it's possible to make your own cheesecake frosting...

    You can use vegan cream cheese (like Tofutti), vegan sour cream (Tofutti makes this too) if you'd like, and some kind of sugar or sweetener. You can also add other stuff to taste: cinnamon, nutmeg, and so on.

    If you want a thicker frosting, use more of the cream cheese (or entirely cream cheese, and no sour cream). If you want it lighter, use more sour cream.

    I love carrot cake, but it's mandatory that it has walnuts and an orange/vegan cream cheese frosting. I can't stand when it's made with pinneapple. Don't get me wrong, pinneaple is good, but it's GROSS in carrot cake (or any cake for that matter). Also, it's mandatory that cakes should be two or more layers or be bundt cakes. Single layer cakes suck.

    I'm lucky that a local shop sells vegan carrot cake but it's 4.50 for a small slice (sliver!), so I don't buy it often.

    I got these recipes from Cake: Vegan cake of course by Sue Belfitt. I have made the first (unhealthy) version several times and it is to die for. Everyone steals it. I haven't made the second, healthy version but I will.

    Pecan Carrot Cake

    125g vegan margarine
    1 tsp vanilla
    3/4 cup sugar
    2 tablespoon maple syrup
    2 cups grated carrot
    1 cup sultanas
    1 cup chopped pecans
    1.5 cups self-raising flour (or normal flour and baking powder)
    1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/2 teaspoon cinammon.

    Beat the vegan margarine, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy (electric mixer works best). Beat in maple syrup. Stir in carrot, sultanas and pecans. Stir in the flour and spices and mix until thoroughly combined. This is a firm, not too sloppy, mix. Place mixture in and oiled loaf tin, smoothing off if necessary with the back of a wet spoon. Bake in a 190C oven until cooked. Check after 45 minutes. This cake may take up to 1 1/4 hours to cook.

    Lemon (or other citrus) Soy Cream Cheese icing

    1 tub vegan cream cheese
    3 tablespoons icing sugar
    3 tsp finely grated citrus peel (lime or mandarin are good)
    2 Tablespoons of soya milk or citrus juice.

    Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for a time before you begin. Then beat all ingredients together to form required consistencey (you may have to add more icing sugar). It will set after a time but don't make it too runny.

    Here's a healthy version.


    Carrot and Cashew Cake

    1.5 cups of brown rice flour and ground oats (thing that means 50/50 but not sure).
    1/2 Cup arrowroot
    1/2 cup chopped cashews
    2 cups grated carrot
    2 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 teasp vanilla
    1 cup fruit juice
    1/3 cup tahini

    Mix flour, arrowroot and cinnamon in a bowl. Combine cashews and carrots and stir this into the flour mixture along with the vanilla, fruit juice and tahini. Should be a moist, stiff consistency.

    Spoon into an oiled loaf tin and bake in a 175 C overn for 45 minutes. Turn out after cooling for 5 minutes then cover with a clean teatowel.

    Cashew Cream

    Soak 1/2 cup of cashews in 1.5 cups of water for a couple of hours and then blend until you have a smooth cream. Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or rice malt if you have a sweet tooth. Add more water if too thick or more nuts if too thin. You can use other nuts to do this. Macadamias and pecans are good.

    This recipe from randomgirl.com is my favorite. Although I'm going to have to try some of the above- they all sound great! (The frosting is a bit too sweet for my taste so I add more of the cream cheese).

    I've used ener-g egg replacer and it made my muffins taste like baking soda...it was quite gross. So I'm assuming now that I must of screwed up on the baking powder and soda because if your cake turned out good then why wouldn't my muffins. So yeah I guess I screwed up!

    I lost the original, so here is my reconstruction. I like this because it is very carroty as the flavor is drawn out into the sugar. Also the moisture is drawn out of the carrots and makes them chewy even in the cake. Lower fat as well.

    300g grated carrot
    150g brown sugar
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 tsp each nutmeg cinnamon
    1/8 tsp each white pepper clove
    juice from 1/2 piece of ginger or 1/2 tsp dry

    In a sauce pan heat to bubbling and sugar all melts. let cool (O/N okay too). Add 50g oil, 2 Tbsp OJ or tamarind liquid or a wee bit of lemon juice, 100g raisins and (opt) 100 g nuts.

    200 g flour (wholemeal opt)
    1/2 tsp soda
    2 tsp baking powder

    Mix dry together thoroughly and add into moist mixture only enough for a thick spongy batter but not stiff.

    Makes 2 sm loaves (160c 30 min) or muffins (200c 10-12min) or cake (180 20min) Bake times/temp approx. Made need to cover in convection ovens.
    Microwaves well too.

    I got this recipe from the Guardian a couple of years ago, and my family all like it, vegan and omni.

    Carrot Cake

    For the cake
    225g grated carrot
    125g raisins
    6 tablespoons olive oil
    125g soft brown sugar
    225g wholemeal flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
    1 teaspoon powdered cinnamon
    8 tablespoons maple syrup
    4 tablespoons orange juice (if you use freshly squeezed, can put rind of the orange in the cake)
    Add nuts such as almond or walnut to taste


    For the icing
    175g icing sugar
    Juice and rind of one lemon




    Preheat oven to GM3

    Line 18cm cake tin with non stick paper

    Mix carrots, raisins oil and sugar in a bowl

    Then add flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, maple syrup and orange juice
    Add nuts if using

    Stir until everything is combined (a sticky lump)

    Spoon into prepared tin and level the top

    Bake for 1 and ¼ hours until skewer comes clean

    Leave to cool in the tin, then put on the plate on which it will be served

    Mix the icing sugar and lemon rind with enough of the juice (6 to 8 teaspoons) to make a thick coating consistency. Spread over the top of the cake and leave to set.



    Hope you like it!!

    This is the carrot cake recipe I use from The Cake Scoffer by Ronny:

    This cake is guaranteed to please. It's packed with moist and satisfying flavour.
    Don't fret if it does not rise too much, it prefers not to.

    3 smallish carrots, grated (approx. 8oz worth)
    6oz dried fruits, (preferably sultanas and raisins)
    6oz SR white flour and 4oz SR wholemeal flour
    6oz sugar (preferably golden brown)
    1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp ginger

    6floz vegetable oil
    7 floz water*
    pinch of salt and a dash of vinegar**
    egg repacer equivalent to 2 eggs, or 5tbsp oil***
    1/2 tsp vanilla essence

    1.) Stir all the dry ingredients together and then mix the wet ones in.
    2.) Bake at gas mark 5 (190 C) for 45 mins, then reduce oven to gas mark 3 and cook for another 30 mins. Cool in tin.
    3.) Ice with lemon icing (ie. icing made with lemon juice, not water) or invent your own vegan cream cheese topping with vegan 'cream cheese'.

    Alternatively, mix tofu, lemon juice and icing sugar for a fluffy topping.

    * I use soya milk
    ** I don't use either
    *** I use oil
    I add 2 tsp of baking powder to help it to rise more

    I add 2 tsp of baking powder to the recipe to prevent it being a carrot pancake

    Could you use the excess pulp that comes off as a by-prduct from juicing do you think? I'm always wondering what to do with that stuff, seems such a waste to throw it away!
    That's a great idea, when I want to make a carrot cake I will do a juice first and save the carrot pulp!

    this is from the 'meals without squeals' cookbook.
    even the carnies love it!!

    160z wholemeal flour
    2 tsp mixed spice
    2 tsp baking powder
    8oz finely grated carrot
    pinch salt
    8o fl oz sunflower oil
    8 fl oz apple or orange juice
    12oz brown sugar
    finely grated rind and juice of 1 orange

    oven at gas 2/150C/300F. grease and line a square baking tin

    mix all ingredients and beat together.
    pour into tin and bake for approx 45mins. cover if getting too brown too early.
    cool in tin and cut up.

    i made a vegan 'butter' icing for the top with marge, vanilla essence, icing sugar and a dollop of tofutti plain 'cream cheese'.
    This sounds good, I will have to convert the measurements though!

    Cashew Cream
    Soak 1/2 cup cashews in 1.5 cups of water for a couple of hours and then blend until you have a smooth cream. Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or rice malt if you have a sweet tooth. Add more water if too thick or more nuts if too thin. You can use other nuts to do this. Macadamias and pecans are good.
    Yum!

    I need to make a carrot cake for my boyfriend's birthday. It needs to be easy because I have never made one before and no raisins, currants or sultanas because he is fussy. Which recipe would you recommend?

    what about cupcakes? there's a recipe for one in vegan cupcakes take over the world. I made them last weekend - the recipe says to squirt the cupcake cases with oil spray and I thought can't be bothered and they stuck to the cases. they tasted good tho - I used the lemon icing on the top.

    The recipe is wrong too, not enough flour. But I didn't know that and made them according to the recipe and still thought they were yummy but a bit flat! I didn't spray the paper either and they came out ok My new fave cupcake!

    Sounds great but I can imagine my boyfriend won't like ginger, coconut or macadamia nuts. He really is the most fussy and frustrating person

    Just made my first carrot cake. It looks good, if a little flat. Didn't rise very much. But hey it tastes good! Tried to post a picture but I couldn't get it to work
