How to make Vegan Carrot Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Prepare wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Add the carrots and mix-ins: Fold in the grated carrots, walnuts, and raisins (if using). Mix gently until combined.
Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Make the frosting (optional): In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan cream cheese, coconut yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Cool the cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Frost the cake: Once the cake is fully cooled, spread the frosting on top. If you prefer, you can skip the frosting for an even healthier version.
Serve and enjoy: Slice and enjoy your healthier carrot cake!
