Dreamy Raw Vegan Carrot Cake

Ask anyone around our office what their favourite cake is and it's a resounding cry for Carrot Cake (except for Karl). So we took that old fashioned goodness and made it well... good!

This beautiful, flavoursome, creamy and wholesome version has no refined sugar added and is a great Vegan alternative.

By adding in our Certified Organic Maca Powder, we increase the earthy flavours and add some mood-boosting flavonoids.

Easy to make and topped with a silky cashew and maple frosting, this could make a great healthier choice to whip up for any occasion.
