Hazelnut Carrot Cake [Vegan]
This carrot cake is truly unique. The rice flour, spelt flour, hazelnut milk, and coconut oil make it so moist and dense. And at the same time, thanks to the roasted hazelnuts, vanilla, and maple, it's so light and full of flavors.
Ingredients You Need for Hazelnut Carrot Cake [Vegan]
How to Prepare Hazelnut Carrot Cake [Vegan]
- Soak the cashew nuts for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight.
- Roast hazelnuts in the oven on 300°F for 7-10 minutes, until the skins start to crack and the nuts get slightly browned. Easiest way to skin them is to put them in a clean cloth and rub until they fall off.
- Turn on the oven 355°F.
- Mix the hazelnut milk and cider vinegar and leave to set.
- Ground the roasted hazelnuts and mix them in the bowl with all other dry ingredients
- Ground the flaxseeds and mix them with twice as much water. You will see that what you get will look a lot like a beaten egg
- Mix oil, agave nectar, and lemon juice
- Grate the carrot and squeeze the extra liquid out. This will prevent the cake from getting mushy but still it will be very moist.
- Mix flax and oil mixture with a spoon into dry ingredients, then add milk and mix again. Do it gently, do not overmix it.
- Mix in the carrot. The batter should be fairly thick but still pourable.
- Pour it into the lined 10-inch pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Prepare the frosting by blending all the ingredients in a blender until very smooth. Refrigerate to cool.
- When the cake is cooled down and frosting has firmed up, you can assemble the cake.
Notes
You can substitute hazelnuts with almonds or walnuts and golden flax with brown flax seeds.
