Vegan Paleo Carrot Cake

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Vegan paleo carrot cake made with almond flour and filled with yummy spices, chunky walnuts, and a creamy cashew frosting on top. Easy, healthy, delicious!

Vegan Paleo Carrot Cake

I know, I know – carrot cake? again? already?

But this one is different, I promise. Plus carrot cake and too much are words I’ve never used together. And it’s officially spring now (WAHOO) so that deserves another round of cake.

I don’t know about you, but in my head it’s been spring for a while now. The weather may still have some catching up to do, but when it does we will be waiting with open arms and welcoming plates of cake. Vegan Paleo Carrot Cake with cashew yogurt frosting, obviously.

Vegan Paleo Carrot Cake

When I posted this carrot cake made with oat flour, many of you asked for a grain-free version. Ask and you shall receive. A one-for-one sub – almond flour for oat – did not work. It took a bit of tweaking to get the texture right, but WORTH IT.

I try not to pick recipe favorites, so it would be wrong of me to say I like this version better. It would be wrong to say it’s naturally sweeter and more moist because almond flour does that to things. It would be wrong to say I devoured the whole thing in two and a half days. Wrong…but kinda true.

But really, I love both of my carrot cake children equally for different reasons – the oat flour is fluffier (and cheaper!), the almond is richer. And the original recipe has already gotten tons of great feedback, so you don’t just have to take my word for it.

Vegan Paleo Carrot Cake

Ingredient wise they are mostly similar. Here’s what we’ve got:

  • applesauce OR non-dairy yogurt
  • coconut sugar (but less this time!)
  • lemon juice
  • vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, salt
  • almond flour
  • tapioca starch
  • baking soda
  • grated carrots
  • walnuts (or pecans or any nuts or no nuts)

Mix. Bake. Frost (if you want). And happy spring!

Description

Vegan paleo carrot cake made with almond flour and filled with yummy spices, chunky walnuts, and a creamy cashew frosting on top. Easy, healthy, delicious!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup non-dairy yogurt or unsweetened applesauce (240g)
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar (50g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch (60g)*
  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour (275g)**
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups grated carrots (180g)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts (60g)

Cashew Yogurt Frosting

  • 1 cup (120g) raw cashews (soaked overnight)
  • 1/3 cup (75g) nondairy yogurt
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. To a mixing bowl, add the yogurt/applesauce, coconut sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
  3. Add the tapioca starch, almond flour, baking soda, spices, and salt. Stir to combine.
  4. Fold in the grated carrots and walnuts.
  5. Transfer to a baking pan (I used a 9×9″ square pan, but round is fine too) that has been lightly sprayed with oil or lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for approximately 40 minutes at 350F or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool completely before frosting.
  8. Drain the cashews. Combine all the frosting ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth and very creamy. If it gets stuck at a higher speed, reduce the speed to low and let it blend for a while (30-60 seconds).
  9. Spread onto the cooled cake and ideally refrigerate until the frosting is set (at least 2 hours). Or you can eat it immediately, but the frosting will be quite soft.
  10. Slice and enjoy! Keep leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

*You can substitute with arrowroot or corn starch. **For an oat flour version, try this recipe instead.

      Haven’t tested with dates yet and while I think it will make the texture too mushy you can try it. You can also just scale back the sugar even further, it’s pretty sweet naturally 🙂

    Darn the magic of almond flour! 😉😂 I can totally see why this might be your favorite…after watching the video and seeing the texture…it looks perfect!! Thank you for sharing a grain-free version!! I’m doing a little happy dance here because I think I found what I’m making for Easter 💗 although, I don’t know that I’ll be able to wait that long; maybe I should do a trial run 😉 I really wish I was your neighbor because I would have happily helped you eat this! Happy Spring, Natalie!! 🌷☀️

      Just nondairy milk will work, although won’t give it that same tangy flavor so consider adding a little extra lemon juice. And less milk as well, try 3-4 tbsp. Good luck!

    I have to say, I’ve always had way better luck with almond flour than oat. Oat just always turns out more dry. OMG that frosting looks like a creamy dream too! I could totally just spoon that straight up 😉 . I’ve recently fallen IN LOVE with Kite Hill’s Greek-Style yogurt so this looks like the perfect recipe to use it in. It’s so thick and has a delicious tang.

    2 carrot cakes in the same month, who in the world would argue with that?! Not me, haha! This looks like a really, really moist cake! Almost like carrot cake bars! I’m laughing at your comment about your carrot cake children, yup, definitely can’t pick a favorite child, that would just be mean! How sweet of you to provide both an oat version and a grain-free version..it must have been so tough to keep making carrot cakes and eating them, bahahaha. And who could blame you for devouring it in 2 days, um, I don’t know if I’d even make it that far. I have such a weakness with cake…and cookies…and brownies. I’m loving that it’s Spring now too because I’m in full cake-creating mood and all I want to do is bake!

      April 12, 2018 at 10:24 am

      I personally think it’s easier to just frost it in the pan. Maybe not as show-stopping for presentation since you can’t frost the sides that way, but you can still decorate the top 🙂 I would recommend about 1/4-1/3 cup raisins. Happy baking!

      Hi Shana! We don’t have oat cream here, so it’s not a product I’m familiar with😕 But is it creamy and thick similar to yogurt or more like milk? If its similar to yogurt, then yes that should be fine!

    Hi Natalie, I got here from your instagram. Your food looks absolutely delicious and drool worthy. I tried making both thiscake and the raspberry chocolate chip cake but completely failed. I used a 9 inch square pan and followed the instructions and used the same ingredients as mentioned. Both times the cake did not cook through in the middle even after I baked them for almost 2 hours. Any idea what went wrong?

    • Natalie says

      December 14, 2018 at 2:35 am

      Really?! Hmm its really hard for me to say what could be the issue without being there but a few ideas:
      1) Did you measure by weight or volume? Weight is much more accurate!
      2) Was the batter really thin? More runny than in the video by chance?
      3) Maybe try them as muffins, those cook through much better since they are smaller so get more even heat from all sides!
      Hope that helps!

        December 14, 2018 at 3:48 am

        Thank you for your quick response. I always like to measure my ingredients by weight and the batter was thick like yours in the video.
        I love baking and eating cakes with almond flour.
        Will try them as muffins first. Do you think it might because I used almond meal? (Here in Australia, blanched and grounded almonds are called almond meal)
        Will try as muffins and see if it works

        Thank you

          December 14, 2018 at 4:01 am

          Hmm that could be it. Here almond flour and almond meal are quite different and not interchangeable, but idk if that is the same there. If it’s quite coarse it won’t be as absorptive though, so could definitely cause the finished product to be overly moist😬

    I added some raisins and so reduced sugar even further, to accommodate. Perfect, mild sweetness. And I made cake only, without the frosting because I’ve always liked it better that way…Thanks Natalie, for a wonderful recipe.

        I’m sure, it’ll make a fabulous breakfast/post pilates workout treat, in a few minutes…this is also why I make carrot cakes without the frosting, to have them for breakfast, so less sugar and richness, more carbs. I’ll try your GF carrot cake too, will be nice to recognize the differences between the two. All the best.

    Hi Natalie, I love your recepies your are really the most innovative vegan dessert queen ever!!! I just wondered if you had any other GF ideas for oat flour substitue that is not almond flour ? I play around with rice, sorghum, buckwheat, corn, tapioca and chickpea and I wondered if you have used any of these GF flours ? Always looking forward to your videos and blogs! Jazz 🙂

      Hi Jazz! Appreciate the title haha, and so happy you enjoy the recipes🤗 So yes, i have experimented with some of those! I don’t use rice or sorghum much, but I love buckwheat and quinoa. Buckwheat is great for fluffy, but can make things a bit dry. Quinoa is also good for texture, but does have a quinoa flavor so skip it if you don’t like that. Tapioca is great but very sticky by itself, cassava flour (related but less starchy) is easier to work with. And chickpea flour is very versatile although I personally haven’t experimented with it a ton. Also green banana flour is another fun one! Happy to point you towards recipes with any of them😊

    My husband and I converted to a restrictive whole foods plant based lifestyle due to health issues related to Covid last year. While there are more and more vegan recipes being posted, many are not really healthy. When I saw the post for your carrot cake, I was really excited. Finally, a recipe that didn’t call for all-purpose wheat flour or a bunch of unhealthy ingredients like sugar and added fats. We haven’t had any cakes or pastries in nearly two years. Carrot cake is my husband’s absolute favorite, so I decided to give your recipe a try for his birthday. It was amazing! I added a 1/2 cup of each golden raisins and toasted pecans. Neither the cake or the frosting are overly sweet, but perfectly sweet enough. Because the ingredients were much healthier than other recipes I’ve seen, I felt good about serving this amazing treat to my husband. Thank you so much!

DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made this many many times to get it just right, and alas it is PERFECT. Date-sweetened, high protein, and soooooo creamy🍦 Add whatever mix-ins you love (chocolate chips, sprinkles, brownie chunks, cookie dough, m&ms, granola, etc.)

If you don’t have a Ninja Creami, I’ll pop the link to my blender chocolate soft serve recipe in my stories✌️

INGREDIENTS
1 cup (240g) cashew milk (or almond milk)
1/2 cup (120g) canned coconut milk
2 scoops (40g) chocolate protein powder (I use @sproutliving)
2-3 (65g) pitted medjool dates
2 tbsp (12g) cocoa powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1 tbsp (16g) chocolate @sunbutter, peanut butter, or tahini

Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Pour into a Creami container and freeze overnight. Process on the light ice cream setting, it will be powdery at this point. Add a splash of milk (preferably coconut) and re-spin once or twice as needed. Add mix-ins of choice, and process on the mix-in setting. Enjoy!

No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate it flavor, but if you love it you will LOVE this recipe! Dairy-free, just 6 ingredients, and creamy as can be thanks to @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream🍨

INGREDIENTS
-1 cups (130g) raw pistachios, shells removed
-2 cans 13.5oz cans @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream
-1/3 cup (105g) maple syrup
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 tsp almond extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-Optional: 1/8 tsp spirulina or 1/4 tsp matcha powder for color

INSTRUCTIONS
Shake the coconut cream cans and pour the entire contents into a medium saucepan. Add pistachios, maple syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally. It will thicken slightly and the pistachios will soften. Remove from heat, stir in the extracts, cool 10 minutes. Blend until very smooth.

Pour into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze overnight. The next day, blend the cubes with a splash of coconut cream until creamy. If you don’t have a blender with a tamper, I recommend using a food processor and stopping to scrape down the sides often. You will have a soft-serve consistency at this point.

Transfer to a loaf pan, freeze 30-60 minutes until it is scoop-able but not frozen solid. Then scoop and serve. Keep leftovers in the freezer, covered. To serve from fully frozen, thaw 30-45 minutes until soft enough to scoop.

If you have an ice cream maker: cool the mixture 1-2 hours after blending, then churn for 30-45 minutes

If you have a Ninja Creami: cool the mixture for 30 minutes, then pour into Creami containers and freeze overnight. Then process on the ice cream setting. If it comes out powdery, add a splash of coconut milk and re-spin 1 to 2 times

Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy, chewy, easy, chocolate chip, chocolate dipped, granola bars!

INGREDIENTS
-4 cups (120g) crispy rice cereal
-2 cups (160g) quick oats
-2 14oz cans sweetened condensed coconut milk
-1/2 tsp salt
-3/4 cup (120g) mini chocolate chips
-1/2 cup (80g) chocolate chips, melted

Combine cereal, oats, and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed coconut milk to a simmer. Simmer and whisk until smooth and visibly thickened (8-10 minutes). Pour on top of the dry ingredients and mix until evenly coated. Set aside to cool about 10-15 minutes (IMPORTANT so you don’t melt the chocolate chips!)

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Transfer mixture to a square baking dish (8×8”) lined with parchment paper, place a piece of wax paper on top, and use your hands or another pan to press in VERY firmly. Bake 1 hour at 250°F. Cool, then chill 4 hours (makes them easier to slice/coat). Lift out of the pan, slice into 10 bars.

Dip the bottom of each bar in melted chocolate, then place on wax paper to set. Drizzle the tops with more melted chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set.

Stop to scrape down the sides frequently and add more coconut milk if needed to get it to blend smooth. Crumble in the Cookies and blend briefly until combined. Serve immediately, or freeze 30-60 minutes to thicken. Add toppings and enjoy!

P.S. This base would also work in the Creami if you have one!

EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking for a mama you appreciate, or just a springy sweet treat for yourself too. With a raspberry pomegranate filling that is the perfect tart-sweet balance to these buttery cookies❤️

INGREDIENTS
-1/2 cup (113g) dairy-free butter, softened
-1/2 cup (110g) cane sugar
-2 tsps vanilla extract
-1 1/2 cups (180g) gluten-free or all-purpose flour
-3/4 cup (84g) almond flour
-Zest of one lemon
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 jar @stdalfourusa Raspberry & Pomegranate Fruit Spread
-Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted for dipping/drizzling OR powdered sugar for dusting

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or using a hand-mixer, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy (about two minutes). Add sugar and vanilla extract, beat again to combine. Place a mesh strainer on top of the bowl and measure out the flours and salt. Sift in all together, then add the lemon zest. Mix on medium speed to form a crumbly dough. 

Gently knead the dough into a ball. Roll out the dough between two sheets of wax paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut out using a linzer cookie cutter–half should be solid cookies, half should have the center punched out. Carefully transfer cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 9-10 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. Let them cool 10 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. 

Flip over the solid cookies, and place a teaspoon of fruit spread on the center of each. Top with the cut-out cookies. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
