Calling all Carrot Cake lovers! This is one of the best, if not the best carrot cake recipe. It's moist with the perfect texture and tastes exactly how carrot cake should. Most carrot cakes are packed with refined flour, oils and sugars but this one is free from ALL that. Carrot cake has always been my favourite since I was little. I've made a few vegan carrot cakes over the years but they all seemed to not live up to my expectations and standards, but this one, this one could actually be the best carrot cake I've had as a vegan or non vegan. So please let me not hold you back any longer and lets get started.
