VEGAN GINGER CARROT CAKE


Easter would not be the same without the ginger carrot cake of our Aunt Z. Actually, there would be no Easter without it:) We modified the recipe a bit and here it is - vegan ginger carrot cake. If you still haven’t bought the carrots, go to the nearest shop and come back to start making the best ginger carrot cake!





Ingredients:

300ml vegetable oil

4 carrots
3 apples
400g sugar
400g wheat flour
4 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 12 tablespoons hot water
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 tablespoons pecan nuts/ walnuts
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons gingerbread spice mix
Instructions:
In a small bowl, add the flaxseed meal and water. Stir to combine. Put the flaxseed mixture and sugar to the mixing bowl and mix. While mixing, slowly add oil. Peel the carrots and apples and grate them on the small holes of a box grater or using a food processor's grating attachment. Sieve dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and baking soda) and add to the mixture of flaxseed and oil. Add salt, cinnamon and gingerbread spice mix. Mix all the ingredients. Chop the nuts finely and add to the rest of the ingredients.  Stir in the carrots and apples. Mix everything with a  spoon and pour into the rectangle cake tin  (25cm x 35cm) covered with baking paper. 
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Bake the cake for 1h 15 min. Leave on a wire rack to cool.
