Carrot Cake, or carrot cake somehow always reminds me of England. According to Wikipedia, this is not quite true, because it was the Swiss who first came up with the Rüblikuchen. Be that as it may, the cake is moist and tastes just great. The carrots give it an ingeniously mild, slightly sweet note and somehow you already have the feeling that you have eaten something healthy. Or is it just me? A bit plagues me then but always the guilty conscience, because I have during and after the shooting equal to two pieces eaten.
Carrot cake – juicy, vegan and gluten-free? Vegan Easter can come
The only thing with gluten free cake is always such a thing is the binding. However, here I could rely on my Flaxseed Egg rely. This worked out great and the vegan carrot cake simply brings everything you want at a coffee party: It’s sweet, juicy, has a subtle hint of cinnamon and nutmeg and above all makes one thing: addictive! Well, my dears, I warned you.
Here are some more interesting facts about carrots, because they contain much more than just vitamin A:
- Rich in vitamins B1, B2, C and E
- Rich in beta-carotene (converted to vitamin A when combined with fat).
- Low calorie with only 25 kcal per 100g
- Rich in selenium
I always use Carrots organic quality and have them delivered without extra plastic packaging from the regional Eco box delivery. In my opinion, local organic carrots just have more flavor, or what do you think? Feel free to write me in the comments at the bottom.
Carrots contain much more than “just” beta carotene
Back to the essentials, our carrot cake. You really only need a bowl, a silicone scraper, a grater, a square baking pan, and an oven. Have I forgotten anything? Yes, of course, it’s best to bring a few friends or even the whole family to eat this simple vegan cake. Favorite cake this simple vegan cake.
Healthy coconut oil, my simple gluten free flour mix , grated carrots, raw cane sugar and a few more spices, ready? Yes it’s actually that simple and actually you can’t go wrong, except? After all, there is always something that doesn’t work. In fact, there are two things that could destroy your cake enjoyment. The baking time is too short and the cake is not properly baked through, or you stir too long and the baking soda loses its leavening power. Therefore my TIP: Stir only as much as necessary (small lumps will dissolve during baking) and, if in doubt, leave the cake in the oven for a few minutes after the end of the baking time.
Now the only question is which frosting do I use for this cake? Cream! Best Coconut cream, homemade . On top I sprinkle coarsely chopped walnuts, ready!
