Inspired by the Modern Baker’s Carrot Cake. Made #vegan. Smells amazing when it’s cooking and tastes beautiful too! It’s quite dark in colour if you’re used to carrot cakes that are sponges. #vegan #vegetarian

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 190C. Line the tin with baking paper.
2

In a bowl mix the oil, sugar and apple sauce.
3

In a different bowl, mix all the dry ingredients except for the walnuts and carrots.
4

Make a little dip in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the oil mixture in. Stir until all mixed together.
5

Add the walnuts and carrots and mix again.
6

Pour the mix into the tin and bake for about 1 hr 15mins... Test if it’s ready by putting a skewer into the middle, when it comes out clean... the cake is done.
7

Once baked, let it cool in the tin for 10-15 mins then turn it out onto a cooling rack. And it’s ready to eat! Enjoy 😋
