INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF (176ºC). Grease and dust a 7-inch round cake pan or square baking dish and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the canola oil, brown sugar, applesauce, milk and vanilla extract. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Fold in the grated carrots and chopped roasted nuts until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan or baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Prepare the crumble topping: In a small mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil or vegan butter/margarine, flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Use a fork to mix the ingredients.
- Evenly crumble the topping over the carrot cake batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the Vegan Carrot Crumble Cake at room temperature with a glass of your favorite plant-based milk, and enjoy!
NOTES
*If you want to make the applesauce, boil 1 large peeled and chopped apple (without the core or seeds) and blend with 1-2 tablespoons of the same water in which they were boiled.
