    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a cake pan with parchment paper.

    2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    3

    Add the shredded carrots, plant-based milk, and coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.

    4

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in the pan.

    5

    Meanwhile, make the cashew cream frosting: soak the cashews in hot water for 15-20 minutes, then drain well.

    6

    In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, plant-based heavy cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.

    7

    Frost the cooled cake with the cashew cream frosting. Garnish with shredded carrots or chopped nuts, if desired.
