Today I had the desire to do my own version of a vegan carrot cake which is pretty simple, nothing too fancy except the frosting! I find the usual frosting too sweet and thought I try something new and combine fresh ingredients with some nuts which turned out pretty amaaazing. It tastes just as I expected and even better because of the frosting, yuuum!
