A delish recipe for a carrot cake that’s simple to make! A yummy dairy-free cream cheese frosting is topped with this lightly spiced cake.
I questioned my viewers a few weeks ago what kind of cake I was going to try to make next. I have a couple of different ideas, all of which, at some point, I will try to make. One of the suggestions was a cake made with carrots. All I love is that carrot cake, and I’ve never had it for a looooong period.
It is lightly spiced with cinnamon and ginger and topped with a sweet cream cheese frosting. This carrot cake is so simple. It works fine with Daiya cream cheese, but if you’re not dairy-free, use the regular cream cheese.
This recipe is so quick and easy doesn’t even need a blender it’s to mix in just one bowl by hand.
Just, you could use it to make a couple of different additions to the carrot cake. Please add some walnuts or pecans to the batter if you really can eat nuts, or you could even spray them on top of the frosting. If you’re someone who likes your carrot cake to have pineapple, you might as well add it! You may not need all the water that the recipe requires. Try a 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple that has been drained and then add your water slowly.
