Vegan Carrot Cake

When I think of summer-y desserts, carrot cake always comes to mind. There’s just something about it being fresh and light that makes me crave it when the temperatures warm up outside. I’ve been making it for years come summer time, usually growing the carrots myself, if I can. I know this may be confusing to some, as the cinnamon and nut meg spices might call for a more fall-y vibe, but the carrot just makes me crave it on a hot day. This year is no different and as I prepare to bake my first carrot cake of the season, I’ve decided to share the recipe with you. 

One addition to my recipe this year has brought it to the next level, and that is crumbling Bobo’s Oat Bars in the Cinnamon Raison flavor on top and to line the sides of the cake. The bars have the perfect texture baked or as is, making this Vegan Carrot Cake a sure hit. It is actually a lot easier to make than I originally expected, although you do need a food processor to grate the carrots, or a good hand grater (much easier with the food processor). This recipe is perfectly moist, light and flavorful. Carrot cake is typically topped with a cream cheese frosting, so I will list two of my favorites here:
