Recipe: Vegan Carrot Cake

It’s difficult to find a good recipe for carrot cake. It’s even more difficult to find a vegan recipe that doesn’t use some obscure egg or butter substitute. Our friend Sara from Spain, who we met while volunteering our way around Japan, prefers to bake without dairy products.

After enjoying her carrot cake several times, we begged for the recipe. We can’t wait to share it with our families over the holidays!
