Vegan carrot cake.
3 cups plain flour2 cups sugar1 tbs baking powder1/4 tsp baking soda1 heaped tsp cinnamon1/2 tsp nutmeg2/3 cup oil1 cup grated carrot (approx. one medium carrot)
approx. 2 cups liquid (juice, soy milk, rice milk, water etc) or enough to make a smooth, runny batter1 tbs apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup walnut pieces
Preheat the oven to 180C and grease and line 2 9” round cake tins, or one big one. In a large bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, and spices together. In a smaller bowl combine the vinegar and liquid. Add the carrot, oil and the liquid to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined (a few lumps are okay). Fold in the walnuts, and scrapw batter into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, checking the cake after 30. Cake is done when the sides have come away from the edges of the pan, and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let the cake rest for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
Decorate with your preffered lemony-frosting.

I made my boyfriend a carrot cake for his 25th birthday. The leaf design is based on a drawing he did.
