Αυτό είναι το καλύτερο Κέικ καρότου Vegan recipe ever! A healthy, fluffy, moist carrot cake cake to celebrate Easter. It’s refined sugar-free, with a healthy coconut cream frosting that matches carrot cake spices so well.

Βίγκαν Βάφλες, which taste amazing and make you feel good but don’t keep you for hours on end in the kitchen.
That’s why I created this vegan sheet pan carrot cake. It’s so much easier to put together than classic layer cakes. Plus, it requires less frosting, making the cake healthier! This recipe is inspired by my famous vegan carrot cake cupcakes to create a light, fluffy, ultra-moist cake texture.

But nothing beats a classic vegan carrot cake.
I’ve made this cake recipe so many times that I have managed to turn what is arguably a complicated recipe into a super easy one! You will love its taste and how easy it is to make, I can guarantee that!
Συστατικά και υποκατάστατα

- Αλεύρι για όλες τις χρήσεις, or you can also try white spelt or white whole wheat flour for a healthier alternative. Η συμβουλή μου is not to use oat flour or almond flour. These options won’t work well. For a gluten-free version, use my οδηγός μετατροπής χωρίς γλουτένη.
- Μπαχαρικά – There’s no tasty carrot cake without spices, and the perfect blend is a combination of ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Baking Powder and baking soda to give the cake the best fluffy texture.
- Ζάχαρη καρύδας is my favorite refined sugar-free sweetener for carrot cake. It has a caramel flavor that goes so well with the carrot cake spices. But feel free to use brown sugar or unrefined cane sugar.
- Άγλυκη σάλτσα μήλου is the secret ingredient to creating ultra-moist vegan carrot cake or vegan chocolate cupcakes. The applesauce doesn’t add flavors, but the moisture and fluffy texture it delivers is the best. You can swap for mashed banana if you like, but it will add a banana flavor to the cake and make the crumb a bit more packed.
- Fresh Carrots – I am taking a shortcut in this recipe. I know all carrot cake recipes peel and grate carrots, but I don’t. Trim the edges of the carrots, wash them well, then cut them into rough slices. Then, I process the carrots with the sugar and liquid ingredients, giving the cake the most beautiful orange color and simplifying the recipe. Η συμβουλή μου, if you don’t have a food processor, is to grate the carrots. The recipe works very well this way.
- Γάλα Σόγιας or any plant-based milk you love, but I found soy milk a game-changer to provide a moist crumb. Feel free to try almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
- Λάδι αβοκάντο is the healthiest oil to bake with but again, use any vegetable oil you have at home. The cake works with canola oil, melted coconut oil, or melted plant-based butter.
- Εκχύλισμα βανίλιας – for flavor
How To Make Vegan Carrot Cake
This recipe is a tweaked version of my original vegan carrot cake. I thought it was too complicated, with too many steps, so I’ve worked tirelessly to come up with the simplest alternative.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch x 13-inch cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease paper with cooking oil spray. If you prefer a round cake, grease two 9- or 8-inch round cake pans.
- Line the bottom and sides of the pan with parchment paper and grease well. Set it aside.

- In a food processor, add the pieces of carrots.

- Then, add oil, nondairy milk, applesauce, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract to the food processor.

- Process on medium-high speed until the carrots are pulsed into small bits and pieces. Stop, set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour and spices. Pour the liquid ingredients from the previous step into the bowl and use a silicone spatula to bring the ingredients together.

- Fold in the chopped pecans, chopped walnuts, or raisins if you like. Stir to incorporate.
- Pour the cake batter in an even layer in the pan, or divide it into two pans for a layer of carrot cake.
- Bake in the center rack of the oven for 25 minutes to 30 minutes or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Your baking time depends on the size of the pan, the thinner the cake layer is the faster the cake bake in the center.
Ζαχαροαλοιφή
Let the cake cool down in the pan for 10 minutes, then on a cooling rack at room temperature for an hour. You can also wrap the cooled carrot cake with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge overnight to frost the next day.

Feel free to use any frosting from my list below,
- Vegan Coconut Cream Frosting I picked the coconut cream frosting, it’s light creamy and perfect for single-layer cakes.
- Vegan vanilla frosting – This frosting is a vegan buttercream frosting made with vegan butter and powdered sugar. It resembles a vegan cream cheese frosting recipe with a firm texture that goes well for layers of cakes.
- Cashew frosting is creamy and healthy, perfect for single layer cakes as it’s a bit too run to assemble layer cakes.
Decorating The Cake
It’s up to you but you can decorate the top of the vegan carrot cake with some:
- Ψιλοκομμένα καρύδια
- Ψιλοκομμένα πεκάν
- Vegan sprinkles
- Τριμμένα καρότα
- Τεμαχισμένη καρύδα


Συχνές ερωτήσεις
Most classic carrot cakes from the bakery are not vegan. They contain many eggs, butter, milk, and cream cheese in their frosting.
However, making your own vegan carrot cake at home is super easy with the recipe below!
Yes, sure, you can add 1/2 cup of shredded coconut or crushed pineapple to your vegan carrot cake batter. To do so, stir in the add-ons at the same time you add the grated carrots.
Note that crushed pineapple adds moisture to the cake. Therefore, it can take a little bit longer to bake.

Made this for this year’s Easter family gathering. Perfect texture, and the coconut frosting complemented it beautifully:)
That’s so nice to hear!
Can you use Bob Red Mill 1:1 flour for the recipe with out the adjustments on your convertion guide?
No, you always need the conversion guide because recipes are egg-free. Bob Red mill states 1:1 for recipe that contains eggs!
Excellent recipe – I used spelt flour.. it was delicious and moist. Thank you!
I am so glad it come out great with your spelt flour, thanks for sharing!
Just tried this recipe, delicious and very easy, the only thing is it crumbles really easily do you think adding a flaxseed “egg” would help? Or maybe it lends itself to muffintin or cupcakes
Thanks I love your recipe ideas
It’s interesting, this never happened to me, you can definitely add flax eggs, but a cake that crumbles means too much moisture. Thanks for baking with me.
Hi. I’m looking forward to make this cake. But I wonder does it work without oil og butter?
Όχι, δεν θα γίνει.
I want to try this cake with whole wheat white flour. Can I use the same amount of flour as in the recipe? Thank you.
Wholewheat will absorb lot more moisture, it should work, using the same amount, but expect a less moist texture and more fragile cake as well.
Αυτό λειτούργησε ακριβώς όπως γράφτηκε, ευχαριστώ!
I made these as cupcakes rather than a tray or big cake and they were a hit at the family gathering! Thank you
Σας ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ!
Can I substitute the coconut sugar with maple syrup in this recipe? If yes, what amount of maple syrup do you recommend?
Unfortunately no, you can’t swap a crystal sweetener for a liquid sweetener. The batter will be too wet, the cake will be gummy.
can I sub pumpkin puree for apple sauce?
I’ve tried mashed banana but not pumpkin puree. It might work though!
This was absolutely delicious. Made it for a girl at work for her birthday as she is vegan. Everyone loved it! Will definitely make it again !!
Ευχαριστώ!
