Carrot is great for your body
Carrot is often said to help tan the skin and is good for the eyes, but beyond these effects, most mortals are unaware of the number of benefits it brings to the body.
Because the habitual consumption of this vegetable contributes an important quantity of vitamins (A, B, C and E), minerals and antioxidant compounds and its caloric value is very low (100 grams equals about 33 kcal),
Here we give you the recipe how to prepare a delicious gourmet carrot cake!

Vegan carrot cake option
My mom’s recipe calls for applesauce, which makes her cake super moist and light. Using applesauce, you can actually veganize carrot cake relatively easily. Along with the shredded carrots, it adds enough moisture to eliminate the need for flax eggs or other unconventional ingredients. As a result, the cake batter comes together with pantry ingredients like all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, sugar, and melted coconut oil. The results are fantastic. The cake is moist, tender, and filled with warm, spiced flavor from cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Enjoy it on its own, or take it to the next level by slathering it in rich, creamy vegan frosting. Even Jack – a total carrot cake traditionalist – fell for this vegan carrot cake recipe. I think you’ll love it too!

Nut-free carrot cake with healthy ingredients
This would make the perfect birthday cake or cake for summer celebrations, wedding showers, cookouts, and beyond! It’s insanely flavorful, rich, moist, and undetectably vegan and gluten-free. Those who are gluten-free will be happy to know there isn’t any oat flour in this cake. I also included nut-free, oil-free, and refined-sugar-free options in the notes.
