This is a yummy carrot cake with rich cream cheese frosting. It tastes very much like the non-vegan version. I believe I came across this recipe on a vegetarian recipe board.

This basic recipe is consistently fabulous and forgiving of substitutions. I agree with the person who made the recipe similar to this that organic carrots make a positive difference. Other subs: Two med organic apples, pulsed = applesauce and 1.5 Cups of Sucanat = total sugars. I have made this recipe many times recently using (freerange) eggs or Ener-G egg substitutes and they are both great (true eggless being best). Also, Tofutti makes a wonderful product, but some of my clients wanted real cream cheese. In that case, I split it half and half and it's a dream. DO TRY this recipe and discover vegan recipes are really delicious and not scary at all. Thanks, Carol. (The pic on my website is of the whole frosted cake and so I didn't submit it>> next batch for sure!)

    I had to do a wedding cake for a vegan couple and I didn't have all the odd things other recipes called for! This was excellent, they loved it.
