The Difference Baker Vegan Carrot Cake Recipe



Happy Easter everyone! As the Easter Bunny gets ready to visit your home, it’s important that you’re prepared for the season. And what better way to celebrate this time of year than with delicious carrot cake?

If you’re vegan, either by choice, dietary restriction, or a combination of the two, it can be difficult to find treats that fit your diet. At The Difference Baker, we know that every diet is unique and has its own specific needs, and we understand the struggles you may go through trying to find something that not only works, but tastes great. That’s why we’ve prepared this vegan carrot cake recipe, tried and tested by our master bakers. We love it, and we’re sure you’ll love it too.
