Frosting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Grate carrots, measure and set aside.
- If using raisins, this step is recommended but not required: place raisins in a small saucepan covered with water. Cover with a lid, bring to a low boil on the stovetop, stir, then turn off the heat/flame. Strain the raisins and press gently to remove excess liquid. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs/aquafaba, oil, water and pineapple (remove pineapple from can with an un-slotted spoon to retain some of the liquids). Slowly stir in the gfJules Best Gluten Free Cake Mix + spices, mixing only until well integrated.
- Add carrots and drained raisins, mixing for no more than 1 minute.
- Transfer batter to pans which have been lightly oiled and floured with gfJules Flour or lined with parchment -- either two 8 or 9-inch round pans or one 9x13 pan or 24 cupcakes.
- Bake two cakes for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (not wet) or with a few dry crumbs; cupcakes bake for 25-30 minutes; 9x13 will bake longer, continue testing after 40 minutes to be sure not to over bake.
- Remove to cool on wire racks and remove from pans after 10 minutes.
- Once fully cooled, frost with vegan Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe.
