Ingredients
- 2-1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or allspice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup light brown cane vegan sugar
- 3/4 cup cane vegan sugar
- 3 egg equivalent in Ener-G vegan egg replacer
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups finely grated carrots
- 1 can (about 14 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- nuts and raisins optional
Preheat oven to 350ð. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, spice, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, mix sugar and "eggs" until creamy (works best with an electric mixer) - add vanilla, then add vegetable oil. Mix wet and dry ingredients together and add carrots, pineapple, and coconut.
I prefer a thicker cake, so I used a 9x9 glass pan. But if you prefer thinner cake with more servings, use a 13x9. Grease pan. Smooth batter into pan. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Be sure to let the cake adequately cool before frosting.
