@@wendyeesue the fat in that amount of cashews is nothing compared to the butter and milkfat and lard they put in regular Carrot Cake. and ya, its a dessert. definitely not an every day thing.
I made this cake on Monday and we had it today for my daughter’s birthday. I was so nervous that it might not turn out correctly because the batter was so dense, like a dough, that I had a plan B. Well, I am so happy that everyone loved it! This is the first time I baked a truly plant based dessert. Your videos are great and I have been learning a lot from watching them. Thank you! .
I just shared the cake with three other friends to celebrate Charlie's good report on his heart. It was absolutely beyond our imagination how good this cake was. Thank you for sharing the recipe and for making a healthy version of what's normally not so good.
Ok! It's in the oven as I am typing this. The only thing I changed was using almond extract instead of vanilla because I like that flavor in carrot cake. In addition to cinnamon, I also used nutmeg and allspice (1.5 tsp, 1.5 tsp, 0.5tsp respectively). Thanks for the lovely recipe! I am glad to find alternatives to almond and coconut flour.
So tasty! My husband and I have been enjoying this as our dessert this week. I skipped the icing to save some calories, and it is still so good it's hard not to gobble it up too quickly. I didn't have the banana flour, so I used almond.
You definitely make this look easy. I agree with the comment below. Pulled out my Eat to Live book and starting a plant based nutritarian lifestyle. Thanks for the inspiration. God bless you and your family. 💗🕊💗
Jill!!!!! You have knocked it out of the park again!! I’m not the WFPB foodie who’s taste buds have changed away from SAD flavors sooooo when I say this is great , 🗣🗣 this is great! I added traditional chopped pecans in batter. I can’t stay out of it!! 🤦♀️ I’ve made your black bread, green beans, stew and all have been perfect !
I just made it for this Thanksgiving and it was delicious!! Thank you! It was appreciated by the non-vegans also. I just added walnuts in the dough and sliced the two layers in two extra, so the layers are thinner.
I made this last night. Very good. The next day: delicious! I should have followed your instructions on soaking cashews for 24 hours because my frosting didn’t come out smooth, but still so yummy. Thank you for this fantastic recipe!
You know this is such a relieve! It’s simpel to make, you look so “normal XD” not over fancy it’s so nice for people to relate to what I very much like !! Also you don’t use oil, agar agar and al those other complicated expensive stuff!! Just that genius blender that I do not have but I can use a soup mixer for that probably! Go on girl, bring up more cool recipes 😀!!!!
Just ate a warm slice of the carrot cake I made as soon as I got home from work. Yum! I'm very happy with the result. To save some calories I halved the frosting recipe and it was perfect to top each layer, leaving the sides naked. Next time I make this I will increase the lemon juice as I think it could stand a bit more tang. To save additional calories I used soy milk instead of coconut milk. While making the cake and doing food prep, I made some ginger juice and saved the pulp for cooking. This recipe didn't call for ginger, which I love, so I added about 1 Tbsp pulp and it was just the right amount. I know I should have waited for the cakes to cool before I frosted and cut into them but I just couldn't wait. I'm glad I did because it was a nice little snack after a very long day.
Carrot cake is my fave dessert and I thought by going vegan that I would never be able to have it again, but now, thanks to you, I can! Thank you so much for this recipe! I will be trying it on my next birthday!
Vegan carrot cake. I never would've thought it was possible. I will try it for sure. Carrot cake was my favorite back in the 90's. I became vegetarian in 1994. Since then I haven't had cheesecake. Thank you
I just made this. The texture is very chewy. My dad and I named it oatmeal cake LOL. The flavor is not bad. And I like the icing. My dad said it was kind of bland but I can taste the sweetness. It's very subtle though. It was okay. But I didn't love it. I will say that it is a very healthy cake though with the large amount of carrots, the dates and the oat flour because oats are extremely good for you and high in protein and iron. High in fat from the cashews but I would say that this is a very good cake if you are looking for something that's actually healthy and not too sweet.
So looking forward to making this cake! You make it look so easy! Hint: don't forget to pit the dates! The first time I used them in a smoothie, I had hard inedible chunks in it! Also, if you have a tree nut allergy, look up plant based frostings-there's a few good ones out there that do not use nuts.
I am 21 days into living a healthy plant based life. This looks AMAZING... but I am almost 50 years old and I know myself enough to know that this will awaken my sugar addiction like nobodys business. lol I will have to modify and find a way to make something just as special but won't have me eating the entire thing. Thanks for sharing!
Your cake looks delish!!!!! Since I am still on my 30 day raw food challenge, I will attempt to make this cake in my dehydrator...Will let u know how it turns out
Oh wow! That looks sooo good! Wonder how it might be with some raisins added in with the carrots? I'd be so tempted to sprinkle the frosting with some finely chopped walnuts too! This is a must-try! for sure ... my favourite cake of them all! (yep, even over chocolate and I love chocolate too!) Love your videos, love your recipes! Thanks a lot for sharing so generously!
Hi Jill love your show and have tried now a number of the recipes and bought your book, one issue is for many deserts have tree nuts and o have a daughter who is highly allergic to them any suggestions on any replacement of the cashew nuts or tree nuts for recipes that still give a great taste? Thanks in advance 👍🙏❤️
Jill, you do such a good job making these food items. I am eager to try the cake since carrot cake is my favorite. I also want to try the cheesecake. You seem to use a lot of cashews. Where can you get large amounts of them? Thanks for your help
Thanks Jill sounds Deeeeelish but what can we use instead of banana flour (I’m from Australia & it costs a fortune for shipping to order from Amazon) thank u 🤟🤓👍
I want to use whole grain flour along with the oat flour do you suggest this will be ok ? Also coconut milk for the frosting, can I use an alternative milk?
Amazing recipe please advice if I could use cassava flour instead and I have no bananas flour can I give it a miss can I also use coconut flour please advice asap thank you so much it looks amazing
Yes, OK good idea, thank you. This is a great mother's day brunch cake too. I am thinking to make it for my father-in-law's 91st birthday! ;) G-d bless y'all honey!
Please could you let me know approximate date weights? I have bought some date paste and I think it would not measure correctly in cups. Thanks in advance. Cannot wait to give this a try!
Can something be substituted for the cashews? I can't eat nuts. I also can't eat coconut, and you used coconut milk in the frosting. I'm assuming that any kind of plant milk will work though
This looks so delicious! Will for sure be making it. Can I substitute something else for banana flour? I live in eastern Europe and it is not available here, shipping for ordering online is extremely expensive.
DO NOT. I REPEAT.. DO NOT WATCH THIS CHANNEL LATE AT NIGHT ON AN EMPTY STOMACH !!!
almost midnight and im grating carrots...
👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
HAHA!
😂🤣... email me some... looks yummy 😋
Not to mention the fat content in them Cashews for the frosting..Maybe after I lose 40 lbs I will try this at a moderation piece

I would like to say thank you for sharing your fantastic receipt without using sugar, salt, animal free. Thanks . keep doing please

So happy to hear that ❤️
I’m drooling. Carrot cake w/ the cream cheese frosting was my fave back in the SAD days.
Ive been doing this recipe for more than 3 years and I just love it so much! Thank you for sharing it!
Your recipes NEVER fail to thrill my family. thanks
Turin Horse
That makes me so happy 😁❤️
Hi. Do you have to use the green banana flour? Can you use another type of flour?
Jill your frosting skills look spot on 💖 very professional !! Looks like a great carrot cake.💚🌿🌻💚
That's one serious looking blender. Never seen one like that before
It may be a commercial Vitamix "The Quiet One" blender which has noise reducing features.
Blendtec Pro 800
Forwarded this to my wife. Hint Hint! Big 80th coming up in a few days.
zpoedog
That’s fantastic! I hope the hint works👍
zpoedog That looks as if it would be a fantastic birthday cake! Make sure she makes it big enough to get all 80 candles on, though.
You don't have hands or what?

Thank you for your time and sharing your ideas and recipes. Love how you cook!

So you had a 4 layer cake?

You can also boil your cashews in a pinch until soft
wow!!! This looks so delicious! I have to try this. Thank you for sharing delicious and healthy content!
soaked chia seeds can replace the flax as an alternative egg substitute.
But flax eggs are better when it comes to baking
My husband is eating this up way too fast. 😄 I didn't have enough carrots, so I used shredded, peeled sweet potatoes. Worked great!
Awesome! Looks sooo good. I will add some walnuts to this recipe.. Thank you.
I came across your channel only today. Am already a fan of your recipes :)
Bravo!! One of our favorites.

It is so visible when it is good. Your cheeks are red a little. And your eyes are more blue. And you smile a different way. So 👌🏻it is very good 😊
I like your frosting simply look tasty 😋.

It looks delicious!,
Carrot cake is my favorite. I'll be doing this for sure!!!

Debbi Maxwell I learned the hard way to careful to not gets pits in the blender. Many times I have had to pour my smoothie through a sieve.
Good stuff Maynard! Another keeper! Thanks!

All of my families meals that I make are WFPB, but I’m having trouble transitioning them off refined sugar and snacks. This recipe will help!
Your intro makes me happy :)
Our daughter Talia wrote and recorded our intro for us with her sister Soji singing harmony. 😃
That looks sooo good!

What is that beginning all about?! I was in stitches with that music. Good recipe all in all
Jill, you do such a good job making these food items. I am eager to try the cake since carrot cake is my favorite. I also want to try the cheesecake. You seem to use a lot of cashews. Where can you get large amounts of them? Thanks for your help
Thank you. I get bulk organic cashews from Tierra Farms
tierrafarmstore.com/
Thank you so much for the recipes , I am gonna to serve this recipe for Thanksgiving 👌🏻
Looks so good!! I have to try it Thank you
I wonder what I would have to change for this to be a versatile cake base
Looks yummy 😍
Thanks Jill sounds Deeeeelish but what can we use instead of banana flour (I’m from Australia & it costs a fortune for shipping to order from Amazon) thank u 🤟🤓👍
You can just use more oat flour or rice flour. =)
Great... thanx so much... you always inspire me with so many yummo recipes... I’m gunna cook it right now! ❤️
Kaz S how did it turn out using oat flour instead of banana flour?
I want to use whole grain flour along with the oat flour do you suggest this will be ok ? Also coconut milk for the frosting, can I use an alternative milk?
curious about your blender, thanks for posting the link
If I don’t have the banana flour-what would I use ? 😊
You could just use more oat flour or rice flour. =)
Thank you 😊
This looks so good - any ideas for nut-free frosting alternatives?
You could replace the nuts with regular tofu 👍
The Whole Food Plant Based Cooking Show - great! Will give that a go and report back.
Amazing recipe please advice if I could use cassava flour instead and I have no bananas flour can I give it a miss can I also use coconut flour please advice asap thank you so much it looks amazing
You can replace the banana flour with oat flour
Thank you for your reply also can I use cassava flour please
I don’t have oat flour I have cassava coconut and buckwheat
It’s great! Looks so good! Is there a replacement for the dates though?
You could use raisins or prunes. =)
Thank you !
Looks great!! I would love for a lemon cake recipe sometime :)
Cassi Pacheco Hmmm, that DOES sound good 🤗
That looks yummy!! Can I add walnuts to the frosting, or into the carrot cake batter itself? I want to make this for sure. Thank you for sharing!
I would add it to the cake batter. Sounds delicious!
Yes, OK good idea, thank you. This is a great mother's day brunch cake too. I am thinking to make it for my father-in-law's 91st birthday! ;) G-d bless y'all honey!
Please could you let me know approximate date weights? I have bought some date paste and I think it would not measure correctly in cups. Thanks in advance. Cannot wait to give this a try!
Vegknitter Lockwood
It is 375 grams for the cake and 150 g for the frosting 👍
The Whole Food Plant Based Cooking Show Many thanks x
Vegknitter Lockwood this was my question. THANKS
Hey Jill, for the Frosting you use Full Fat canned Coconut Milk both solid and liquid part? (Because it separates almost when chilled)
Can something be substituted for the cashews? I can't eat nuts. I also can't eat coconut, and you used coconut milk in the frosting. I'm assuming that any kind of plant milk will work though
