Carrot Zucchini Raw Vegan Cake

I have been wanting to post a raw carrot cake recipe for years. Seriously, years. For some reason, I never got around to it until today. Of course, it couldn’t be a straight up carrot cake, I had to mess with it. Zucchini is available in abundance right now so I decided to throw that in the mix. The addition of diced pineapple adds a wonderful sweetness and a pop of flavor. I have even included baking instructions for those who do not have dehydrators but do not care if it is raw and having a vegan cake is enough. It is a new world around Rawmazing!

My favorite part of this recipe is the frosting! You can throw just about anything that compliments the cake into it. I used walnuts, dried cranberries, and coconut. You could easily substitute with pecans, raisins, just about any dried fruit or nuts that go with carrots. I choose to sweeten mine with orange and maple but you could go the route of cinnamon if you wish.

Ready for dehydration

You can make 2, 4 1/2 – inch cakes or 1, 8 – inch cake. You can also shape individual bars if you wish and frost them. Have fun with this recipe…it is very adaptable.

Note: If you do not have a dehydrator and wish to make these in the oven, you can bake at 200 degrees for 25 minutes, turning over once during baking. They will not be raw.

    Hi……I’m allergic to cashews and pistachios and am saddened that most of the creamy delicious recipes require one or the other. Are there other nuts that can be substituted, especially for the cashews?

    Thanks! Grace

      Hi, Grace, Pine nuts and macadamia nuts can work. It will just be a little different. Cheers!
