How to Prepare Orange Scented Carrot Cake With Cashew Cream Frosting [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease or coat a 10 inch round cake pan with cooking spray, set aside. Note: the original recipe used a 8x8 pan.
In a medium bowl, combine shredded carrots, flax seed meal, maple syrup, soy milk, canola oil, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar and orange zest. Mix together and set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Fold in raisins and toasted coconut.
Pour into pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool using a wire rack.
To make frosting: combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Note: Frosting will get thicker when chilled in the refrigerator.
Frost and enjoy!!!
