@@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.
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 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!
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 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. 💗🕊💗
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.
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.
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!
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 😀!!!!
Oh my goodness! You are too good! Carrot cake is one of my favorite cakes. I usually buy a vegan carrot cake at a whole foods store. I don't have the patience, nor am I into baking when it comes to desserts/pastries. 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
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
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!
I really want to try this. I’ve been off cake since going whole-food plant-based as I’m avoiding oil and added sugar, and also refined white flour, so I thought cake was really OUT!! My hubby and I are definitely watching our weight. This looks totally amazing - love the idea of basing it on oat flour, and all the sweetness coming from the dates. The frosting looks fabulous too! I’ve never heard of that banana flour, though, and see you can get it from Amazon but it’s very expensive. Would the recipe work without it, or is there a substitute? My favourite cake was always coffee and walnut. Could this cake be adapted for that, do you think?
You can use all oat flour or replace the banana flour with almond flour. I have other cake recipes that would work better for adapting to coffee or walnut flavor. They are in my desserts section. plantbasedcookingshow.com/category/recipes/dessert/
The Whole Food Plant Based Cooking Show Thank you for your prompt reply! That’s good to know. If I can make fat/sugar free cakes, that would be the best thing since sliced bread! (Lol! Actually I NEVER buy sliced bread... make my own!!) I’ll definitely explore your desserts section too. I love your show and am using quite a few of your recipes now.
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!
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
This recipe looks amazing! I am thinking about replacing the coconut milk with silken tofu to keep the saturated fat content down. Successful cooking is experimental, right?
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 🤟🤓👍
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
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 👍🙏❤️
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?
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

Did you use the banana flour? Thanks
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.
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.
My husband is eating this up way too fast. 😄 I didn't have enough carrots, so I used shredded, peeled sweet potatoes. Worked great!
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 !
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?
@@Milioem 😂😂👍🏽
So cute! Happy birthday!

Ive been doing this recipe for more than 3 years and I just love it so much! Thank you for sharing it!
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.
So you had a 4 layer cake?
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 can also boil your cashews in a pinch until soft
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. 💗🕊💗

I just use extra dates, maple syrup or coconut sugar.
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 😊
so many of your recipes are staples for me now, cant wait to try this
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
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.
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.
Your recipes NEVER fail to thrill my family. thanks
Turin Horse
That makes me so happy 😁❤️
Jill your frosting skills look spot on 💖 very professional !! Looks like a great carrot cake.💚🌿🌻💚
I love your videos! They're so helpful and healthy 💚 thank you for making them.
This cake looks amazing. I would feel great eating this without the guilt! Thanks so much
I am not a vegan YET, so I might like to add some raisins/dates and maybe walnuts too. This recipe is GREEAAATTT.
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!
soaked chia seeds can replace the flax as an alternative egg substitute.
But flax eggs are better when it comes to baking
Thank you for your time and sharing your ideas and recipes. Love how you cook!

Hi. Do you have to use the green banana flour? Can you use another type of flour?
Thanks for all your delicious recipes. I love all of them
Carrot cake is my favorite. I'll be doing this for sure!!!
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

Oh raisins would be soooo good in it

Great recommendations!!
And I would add unsweetened shredded coconut
Awesome! Looks sooo good. I will add some walnuts to this recipe.. Thank you.
Good stuff Maynard! Another keeper! Thanks!
I’m so behind I guess because I’ve never heard of green banana flour. I’ll look for it. This looks really good. Thanks 🙂
You are not behind. It's the first I ever heard of it. I'm in my late 40's.
Wow, that looks delicious 😍 I will try it for a special occasion! Thanks Jill!
This cake looks so yummie 😋
I gone make this for my birthday.
Wow! This is a great, healthy recipe! Thank you so much for sharing this.

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!
I like your frosting simply look tasty 😋.
Looks great.....you seem like such a nice person😊
These look fantastic! Great video :)

Thank you. I get bulk organic cashews from Tierra Farms
tierrafarmstore.com/
You are exceptional,
It’s great! Looks so good! Is there a replacement for the dates though?
You could use raisins or prunes. =)
We need a little nutmeg, as well. Looks yummy.
Your intro makes me happy :)
Our daughter Talia wrote and recorded our intro for us with her sister Soji singing harmony. 😃
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never heard of banana flour. The cake looked yummy!
Thank you ✨🌺
I've made this twice before. Its one of the most delicious things I've ever had.
Thank you Nabil 🤗
Thanks for the sharing. 🤗 I love the Charlie Brown music too. 💖
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.
This recipe looks amazing! I am thinking about replacing the coconut milk with silken tofu to keep the saturated fat content down. Successful cooking is experimental, right?
Absolutely 👍
Great recipes fun healthy happy
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?
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
What is that beginning all about?! I was in stitches with that music. Good recipe all in all
If I don’t have the banana flour-what would I use ? 😊
You could just use more oat flour or rice flour. =)
Looks great!! I would love for a lemon cake recipe sometime :)
Cassi Pacheco Hmmm, that DOES sound good 🤗
This cake looks incredible, and the frosting is out of this world! Yummy! I just want to dip some strawberries into the frosting :)
Soul in the Raw
Thank you 😊
Hey Jill, for the Frosting you use Full Fat canned Coconut Milk both solid and liquid part? (Because it separates almost when chilled)
Is there a Green Banana Four substitute I can use instead? Unfortunately I don't have easy access to Green Banana Four..
You can just use more oat flour.
Looks so good!! I have to try it Thank you
Thank you 😊
Yummmm
