                     Carrot Cake with Cashew Butter 
Frosting

Before moving to a plant-based diet, carrot cake was a regular event 
in my dessert repertoire. And to be honest, it was hard to give up the 
decadent, sweet, cake and butter icing.  It took some time for me to 
create a carrot cake I was excited to eat.
After a lot of trial and error, here it is.  Here you’ll find my version of 
the classic carrot cake minus the refined sugars and dairy. 
I hope you enjoy xx

ICING
Soak cashews for up to an hour to help create a smooth, creamy 
icing.
Then blend in a food processer or high-speed blender all ingredients 
until you form a smooth, thick creamy mixture.
IMPORTANT NOTE:  Place the coconut cream in the fridge before 
using and simply skim the thick cream from the top of the can.  Do 
not shake the can or use the coconut water sitting at the bottom.  It’s 
important to only use the thick cream or your icing will not set.
Once cake has cooled ice.
You will need to keep the cake in the fridge once iced as the cashew 
icing will melt.
