One bowl vegan carrot cake is one of my absolute favorite cakes I have made thus far. It’s all a carrot cake should be, moist, tangy, chewy, nutty and super super yum! I am certainly making this one again and I might even add in a few extra ingredients the second time around. This cake is stuck on my brain, like in forever!
