    • @turinhorse
      @turinhorse 4 года назад +21

      @@wendyeesue the fat in that amount of cashews is nothing compared to the butter and milkfat and lard they put in regular Carrot Cake. and ya, its a dessert. definitely not an every day thing.

    I made this cake on Monday and we had it today for my daughter’s birthday. I was so nervous that it might not turn out correctly because the batter was so dense, like a dough, that I had a plan B. Well, I am so happy that everyone loved it! This is the first time I baked a truly plant based dessert. Your videos are great and I have been learning a lot from watching them. Thank you!

    Ok! It's in the oven as I am typing this. The only thing I changed was using almond extract instead of vanilla because I like that flavor in carrot cake. In addition to cinnamon, I also used nutmeg and allspice (1.5 tsp, 1.5 tsp, 0.5tsp respectively). Thanks for the lovely recipe! I am glad to find alternatives to almond and coconut flour.

  • @wfhalsey1
    @wfhalsey1 Год назад +3

    Just ate a warm slice of the carrot cake I made as soon as I got home from work. Yum! I'm very happy with the result. To save some calories I halved the frosting recipe and it was perfect to top each layer, leaving the sides naked. Next time I make this I will increase the lemon juice as I think it could stand a bit more tang. To save additional calories I used soy milk instead of coconut milk. While making the cake and doing food prep, I made some ginger juice and saved the pulp for cooking. This recipe didn't call for ginger, which I love, so I added about 1 Tbsp pulp and it was just the right amount. I know I should have waited for the cakes to cool before I frosted and cut into them but I just couldn't wait. I'm glad I did because it was a nice little snack after a very long day.

  • @laurenpsl8038
    @laurenpsl8038 4 года назад +7

    So tasty! My husband and I have been enjoying this as our dessert this week. I skipped the icing to save some calories, and it is still so good it's hard not to gobble it up too quickly. I didn't have the banana flour, so I used almond.

    I just made this. The texture is very chewy. My dad and I named it oatmeal cake LOL. The flavor is not bad. And I like the icing. My dad said it was kind of bland but I can taste the sweetness. It's very subtle though. It was okay. But I didn't love it. I will say that it is a very healthy cake though with the large amount of carrots, the dates and the oat flour because oats are extremely good for you and high in protein and iron. High in fat from the cashews but I would say that this is a very good cake if you are looking for something that's actually healthy and not too sweet.

    I really want to try this. I’ve been off cake since going whole-food plant-based as I’m avoiding oil and added sugar, and also refined white flour, so I thought cake was really OUT!! My hubby and I are definitely watching our weight. This looks totally amazing - love the idea of basing it on oat flour, and all the sweetness coming from the dates. The frosting looks fabulous too! I’ve never heard of that banana flour, though, and see you can get it from Amazon but it’s very expensive. Would the recipe work without it, or is there a substitute? My favourite cake was always coffee and walnut. Could this cake be adapted for that, do you think?

    • @wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow
      @wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow  4 года назад +2

      You can use all oat flour or replace the banana flour with almond flour. I have other cake recipes that would work better for adapting to coffee or walnut flavor. They are in my desserts section.

    That looks yummy!! Can I add walnuts to the frosting, or into the carrot cake batter itself? I want to make this for sure. Thank you for sharing!

      I would add it to the cake batter. Sounds delicious!

      Yes, OK good idea, thank you. This is a great mother's day brunch cake too. I am thinking to make it for my father-in-law's 91st birthday! ;) G-d bless y'all honey!

    What would you use in place of baking powder and baking soda?
