VEGAN APPLESAUCE CARROT CAKE
This recipe is the best Vegan Carrot Cake recipe I've ever tasted. Its delicious and unique in that you pre-cook a few of the ingredients which I think accounts for the moistness of this cake. I've changed a few things to suit my own tastes. This cake is quite deep and very heavy. I like to frost it with a Vegan Cream Cheese Icing. The original recipe was found on recipe.com

- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

- Use fresh, high-quality carrots. This will give your cake a more intense carrot flavor and a moist, tender texture.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a cream cheese frosting for a classic carrot cake flavor. Or, try a maple frosting or a cream cheese frosting with a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg.
- Garnish the cake with grated carrots, chopped walnuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
