This cake is fabulous, super easy, super eatable. I personally found the icing far too sweet though.
I love these crazy cake recipes. I’ve made the lemon and carrot cakes and both were excellent. I’ve read where applesauce can be used instead of oil, in baking and wonder if anyone has tried it with these “crazy” cakes?
Can this crazy carrot cake be baked in layers?
Has anyone tried this with long fermented sourdough? I’m wondering how to adjust the recipe for that. Thank you.
This was quite good. I am allergic to dairy and by myself during the pandemic and this was really perfect! Thanks!
This is the best vegan carrot cake you will ever taste!! Non vegans dont miss anything.its so yummy!
Fabulous recipe! I did not have raisins, and used half spelt flour, turned out wonderful. Added cream cheese icing.
I am a bariatric surgery PT.And this sounds like a AWESOME FIX FOR A DESERT.
THANK U SO MUCH.
Can you use sugar substitute for this recipe ?
How might I adjust recipe to use honey I stead of sugar?
Check out the King Arthur Flour website – they have a great guide on baking with liquid sweeteners.. They say that honey is sweeter than sugar, so you’ll likely want 3/4 c honey for every 1 c sugar. Since you are adding extra liquid, you’ll want to reduce the water called for (from 1 c to 3/4 c). So – 3/4 c honey, and reduce the water to 3/4 c
However, 350 is the max you should be baking with honey, so you may want to consider maple syrup instead (I’m going to try on Saturday!).
