Instructions
- Begin by preparing the dairy-free vegan “cream cheese” frosting. To do so, soak the cashews in boiling water for 2 hours (or overnight). Drain the water from the cashews and place in a blender or food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until completely smooth. You may need to stop the blender a couple of times to scrape the edges. If necessary, add more coconut milk or almond milk to help the mixture blend. Transfer frosting to a jar and refrigerate until ready to use (up to 4 days in advance).
- When you’re ready to bake the cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9” x 9” square cake pan or 9” round cake pan with parchment paper.
- Add the eggs, oil, lemon juice, vanilla extract, almond flour, shredded coconut, Truvia Natural Sweetener, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ground ginger, and sea salt to a food processor or blender (all ingredients except for the walnuts, dried cranberries, and carrots) and blend until well-combined.
- Stir in the walnuts, dried cranberries, and grated carrot.
- Transfer the cake batter to the parchment-lined cake pan and bake on the center rack of the oven 45 to 50 minutes, until the cake has set up and has turned golden brown around the edges.
- Remove cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- Frost the cake with the vegan “cream cheese” frosting (or frosting of choice) and sprinkle with shredded coconut and chopped walnuts. Slice and serve.
