Carrot Cake

Flora Freedom

Vegan carrot cake

Being vegan doesn’t mean you should miss out on tasty treats like this delicious dairy-free carrot cake. We’ve also whipped up a special cream cheese frosting, but if you want to make things even easier, you can just dust the top with some icing sugar before cutting into thick slices – go on, be generous.

  1. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  2. 100 ml soya milk

  • Pour into a greased and lined 900g (2 lb) loaf tin and bake in preheated oven for 1-1 ¼ hours.
  • Check to see if your cake is cooked by inserting a skewer into the centre.
  • If it comes out clean, allow to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before turning out and cooling on a wire tray.
