I don't really enjoy mix-ins in my carrot cake. I much prefer to add ingredients like walnuts in-between layers or as decorations. Carrot cake is not complete without the cream cheese frosting, so of course, it's also topped with a rich layer of just that. However, if you don't have access to vegan cream cheese then you can make your own or use whipped coconut cream.

1. Preheat oven to 190C. Line the tin with baking paper.
2. In a bowl mix the oil, sugar and apple sauce.
3. In a different bowl, mix all the dry ingredients except for the walnuts and carrots.
4. Make a little dip in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the oil mixture in. Stir until all mixed together.
5. Add the walnuts and carrots and mix again.
6. Pour the mix into the tin and bake for about 1 hr 15mins… Test if it’s ready by putting a skewer into the middle, when it comes out clean… the cake is done.
7. Once baked, let it cool in the tin for 10-15 mins then turn it out onto a cooling rack. And it’s ready to eat! Enjoy 😋
