Vegan carrot cake is always a hit, and it's easy to make as the carrots provide enough moisture that you don't need to worry about using and egg replacer as a binder. This vegan carrot cake recipe with whole wheat flour uses dates and orange juice for a bit of sweetness so it is refined sugar-free. Pineapple juice concentrate also works well in this sugar-free carrot cake recipe.

Using whole wheat flour in this vegan cake does make it a bit heavier, but carrot cake isn't usually a very light cake anyways. Recipe courtesy of Beverly Lynn Bennett of VeganChef.com.

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups water
1 1/4 cups dates (chopped)
1 cup raisins
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup carrot (grated or shredded in a food processor)
1/2 cup walnuts (chopped)
1/3 cup frozen orange juice concentrate (thawed)

First in a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
Next, combine the water, dates, raisins, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg in a small saucepan. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, and allow to gently simmer for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice.
Next, place the shredded or grated carrots in a bowl and pour the hot water, date and raisin mixture over them, and allow to cool completely. This step allows the carrots to soften up a bit. Next, add the chopped walnuts and 1/3 cup orange juice concentrate to the carrot mixture and mix well.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir well to combine.
Pour your carrot batter into a lightly greased cake pan.
Bake your sugar-free whole wheat carrot cake in a pre-heated oven at 375 F for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
After allowing to cool, frost your vegan carrot cake with a sugar-free vegan frosting. A cream cheese frosting is traditional for carrot cake. Try this classic vegan cream cheese frosting recipe or, for something a little bit different, try this raw vegan coconut butter and agave nectar frosting recipe. Enjoy!
