Food And Drink ? Vegan Carrot Cake For Healthy Eaters

Below is a tasty vegan carrot cake recipe. If you?ve followed my prior recipes, you?ll know that I?m a massive fan of carrot cake recipe that are simple and delicious, and the one I?m going to share with you is not an exception to that rule. This is a vegan recipe, as I said, which means that it does not use any animal products.

Some vegans try to ensure that all edible foods are absent of animal content. Some people will go to great lengths in pursuit of this information. Not long ago I watched a documentary that highlighted animal products in food products that we would usually imagine are completely animal product free. Products like jelly beans and marshmallows (gelatin), mustard (eggs), shortbread (shortening) and even some breakfast cereals. This recipe, however, is 100% free of all animal products so it?s absolutely ideal for vegans.

The ingredients you will need are as follows:

- 1 cup soy milk

- 2 cups grated carrots

- Three (3) cups flour

- Two (2) cups water

- One cup sugar

- Half a teaspoon salt

- One and a half (1 1/2) teaspoons baking soda

- One and a half (1 1/2) cups raisins

- One and a half teaspoons cinnamon

- One and a half teaspoons allspice

- 1/2 teaspoon cloves

Preparation directions for this cake recipe:

1. Make sure that your oven is preheated to 350F (or will be once you?ve finished preparing everything ? about ten (10) minutes).

2. In a saucepan, mix together the water, raisins, carrots and spices. Bring to boiling point then simmer for eight minutes. Add the salt and sugar and continue to simmer for two (2) minutes longer. Now mix in the remainder of the ingredients.

3. Switch off the stove and continue to stir the blend continuously until it cools down.

4. In a large bowl, blend the flour with the bicarbonate of soda and the carrot and raisin blend. Fold these ingredients together.

5. Pour the batter into a lightly greased baking pan and place in the oven uncovered for approximately fifty (50) minutes. Keep a watch on it after half an hour as all ovens do vary a little. When it appears to be finished, poke the middle of the cake with a skewer and if no batter sticks to the skewer, remove the pan from the oven and permit it to cool for ten minutes.

That?s all that it takes to make a scrumptious vegan carrot cake recipe at home! I bet you thought it to be harder didn?t you? Let me know what you thought of it!
