Carrot cake is an american classic, it’s moist and flavorful and usually full of skin busting ingredients:/ Carrot cake lends itself so well to a vegan #eattoglow preparation because it contains lots of fruit and veg moisture. This cake has a tiny spin to it’s classic counterpart because I added some Indian ingredients like curry and coconut milk. This cake is really tasty but you’ve gotta be willing to chill out with your grater for a hot minute or get a food processor. I hope all of you little bunnies out there enjoy this one!
