APPLESAUCE CARROT CAKE

I got this recipe from the newspaper, but the person who sent it in said it was from a Seneca applesauce jar. It's very good, and the applesauce in the icing makes a tasty variation.

VEGAN APPLESAUCE CARROT CAKE



Vegan Applesauce Carrot Cake image

This recipe is the best Vegan Carrot Cake recipe I've ever tasted. Its delicious and unique in that you pre-cook a few of the ingredients which I think accounts for the moistness of this cake. I've changed a few things to suit my own tastes. This cake is quite deep and very heavy. I like to frost it with a Vegan Cream Cheese Icing. The original recipe was found on recipe.com

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup walnuts (chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease a 9-inch spring form pan with spray oil.
  • In a large sauce pan, simmer the raisins and grated carrots in the water over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove and put in a large bowl.
  • Add the oil, apple sauce, egg replacers, syrup, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and salt. Stir the mixture well.
  • In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking soda and walnuts together. Stir this dry mixture into the carrot raisin mixture.
  • Don't over mix this.
