Mostly Just Carrots-Cake

Mostly Just Carrots Cake

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup apple sauce (you can use oil also if you don't want the "lower fat" version)
3 "eggs"-- flax seed and Ener-g eggs both work well
3 cups shredded carrot
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon or pie spice

Directions:

Mix all of the wet ingredients and the sugar in a bowl until well mixed. Add the carrots and mix.

In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Once both bowls are ready, mix together to form batter.

Pour into a 9 by 13 cake pan. Put into preheated 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven for about 40 minutes. It is done when a toothpick comes out clean. If you use other sized pans (rounds, for example) be sure to adjust your baking time.

Let cool and enjoy! I just put powered sugar on mine but you can be more creative.

Feel free to also add other goodies, like coconut, walnuts, or whatever sounds good to you.

Source of recipe: This is a modified version of a carrot cake recipe I have. All of the vegan recipes I was finding had other ingredients (pineapple, coconut, etc) in them. I wanted straight up carrot cake. This makes a nice, moist cake. My officemate and carrot cake lover requests this.
