Easter carrot cake

This post is also available in: Español

Carrot cake is one of my favorites, I really like the texture of the carrot and nuts and that touch of cinnamon. It is moist but at the same time pretty fluffy, healthy, light and perfect for the tea time or Easter season!

I like to add a cream cheese frosting or cashew cream, which gives a delicious creamy touch that makes it irresistible. For the cake of this photo, I have used the cashew cream of this recipe Pumpkin cake & cream “cheese” frosting

Ingredients

• 2 cups grated carrots 270g
• 2/3 cup coconut or muscovado sugar 130g
• 1/4 cup liquid oil 55ml
• 2 eggs or 3 egg replacement*
• 1/2 cup water 120ml
• 2 cups wholewheat flour 240g
• 1 cup chopped walnuts 150g
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C

2. Put the carrot in a large bowl along with the rest of the wet ingredients. Beat well. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well until everything is well integrated.
   

3. Put the mixture in a mold of 9x20 cm and bake for 25-30 minutes or until it is golden brown on top and dry inside **
   

4. Let cool and decorate!

5. Keep in the refrigerator and take it out about 10 minutes before eating it.

Recipe Notes

*You can use an Orgran type egg replacement, or prepare one with 1 teaspoon of flax flour and 3 tablespoons of water for each egg, mix and let stand 15 minutes.

** Since it is a very wet mixture and the carrot has a lot of liquid it can be browned on top and still moist on the inside, so that it doesn't dry on top and stays raw inside, after 25 minutes of oven you must cover the cake with aluminum foil and bake until it is no longer wet inside.
