I have a carrot cake story to share. My mom makes her carrot cake with crushed pineapple in it, and it is INSANELY GOOD. She used to own a restaurant in my hometown and she was written up in the paper repeatedly for her carrot cake! It's so funny, sometimes when we're out in public, some people still recognize her and talk about her cake! "Connie's carrot cake" is a real thing around here!!! She makes a vegan version that tastes just as good as the original. Can't even tell it's different!
a really good trick with carrot cake is to squeeze the excess liquid out of the shredded carrots and put the liquid back into the cake with the wet ingredients; it keeps the sweetness from the carrots but makes the cake less dense, because when the carrots are weighed down with water, it can make the cake fall.
I've been craving carrot cake since I became vegan over a year ago! It's my favorite cake but I haven't found a vegan recipe. I can finally enjoy it again :) Thank you for sharing!
@@Milioem I don’t remember commenting this, but I assume I just didn’t look on the internet lol. I have now been vegan for 4 years and I’ve made plenty of really good vegan carrot cakes :)
If you don't own a high speed blender you can make icing out of vegan butter and mix it with sugar and a little vanilla extract. It's so good! I soften my butter for 5 seconds in the microwave before adding the sugar and vanilla. 👍
All of these recipies look amazing! I have been on a lemon poppy seed kick lately and those energy balls... I didn't know I needed in my life until right now lol I will be making them tomorrow, even better I have all the ingredients already on hand, I can't wait ! Thank you for sharing ! ❤️
My mom makes me a huge double layer carrot cake every year for my birthday and when we went vegan she veganized her recipe which was so bomb! But I really wanna try a simpler and healthier recipe this year. Yours looks so good!
Definitely trying the energy balls first, bf loves carrot cake so that ones second on the list. I think of light and airy when spring comes around so for example grapefruit berry granitas, key lime cupcakes 🧁
How dare you Caitlin! No video omg ... hahahaha girl your recipes are bomb. Sloths help forgive all. BTW. i made your almond butter brownies yesterday ... hot damn. I ate half of the batter straight out of the bowl. Thank you!
I am not that great at baking and making desserts. But that doesn't mean I won't give them a go. It is good to make some chocolate free recipes. Coconut Cream, Soya or Oat (subject to any allergies/intolerances) could be alternatives to Cashew nuts.
i tried your chocolate raspberry tarte and it came out super delicious everyone in my family liked it with the exception that i added a little agave for some sweetness and it was super good great recipes!!!
I love to bake my carrot cake in muffin tins and then dip pieces in frosting or in a coconut whipped cream (usually I pair my recipe with coconut whipped cream or coconut yogurt). I have to try your recipe too, because it sounds so yummy with pecans! Also, that cashew frosting looks yummy!
Loved these recipes and shared them with family! And your solution to the missing footage was so creative, didn't feel like I was missing out at all haha, well done!
I can't wait to make these, especially the carrot cake! I have a massive amount of carrots in my fridge that I'm trying to use up and the cake will be a nice venture from steamed and roasted carrots!
Yes we do want to eat a lemon slice on top of it 😝 maybe with candied lemons/preserved lemon (don t know what s the correct word, not English here) though
I don't really like citrus flavours in savoury dishes but I looove lemon in deserts (not as much of a chocolate fan as I used to be, who would've thought haha), so excited to try all of these thank you !
When I was a kid, my family used to make zucchini-hazelnut-squares (so basically cake in square form just as you did with the carrot cake) aaaaand just regular "Gugelhupf" cake (whatever that is called in english) and also some nice Apricot Sheet Cake ("Marillenblechkuchen") and Black Forest Cake :'D When it comes to sweet desserts... And we used to have "Brioche/Striezel" for breakfast during easter time :D Which that's the best thing ever with Nutella hahahaha ♥♥♥
MMMMMM carrot cake is totally a classic! Pavlova is another desert that reminds me of spring and it would be really awesome to see it veganized! I imagine its a challenge, but I'm sure you could make it happen! :)
Love these! Anything I could replace the cashews with? Can't tolerate them very well. I was thinking macadamias, although they're so expensive! I'd love it if you could make something that is cocoa, cashew and peanut free for your next dessert video! Most vegan and gluten-free desserts contain at least one of those, so I'm pretty stumped :))
My lesson: reserve the cashew water. After I strained and blended the delicious lemony filing, the result was a thick paste. Delicious as lemon gelato, mind you. Next time: keep the extra liquid just in case
The carrot cake recipe looks delicious, have to try that one! Just wanted to note that oats are normally NOT gluten-free, but nevertheless there are many other substitutes like buckwheat flour that might work as well. Edit: I just did some research on that topic and it says that it's actually different in different parts of the world. So in the US there might be oats that are labeled as gluten-free whereas you won't find oats being labeled as gluten-free in New Zealand for example (in my home country Austria they aren't as well).

Can you share the recipe?
What happened to the restaurant?
My mother used crushed pineapple in her cakes too. Marvellous 😊
Hope you will share the recipe!
Can you share the recipe or is it a family secret

That carrot cake with cashew cream frosting 🤤
HOW DID YOU KNOW I WANTED A CARROT CAKE YESSS THANK YOU😍😍😍😍😍
Carrot cake was my grandma's favorite. Every time I have it it reminds me of her.
I love that! :)

Mina Rome also has carrot cake muffins on her UA-cam channel and I love them and would suggest them if you want it a bit more on the go :D
With the internet, how have you not found one?
@@Milioem I don’t remember commenting this, but I assume I just didn’t look on the internet lol. I have now been vegan for 4 years and I’ve made plenty of really good vegan carrot cakes :)
I made the lemon bars and your chocolate tart for a wedding shower at work (the bride is vegan). They were all the rave!
Just made the carrot cake today and it’s by far one of the best vegan treats I’ve made in a long time.
You are GLOWING. Its so amazing to see how happy you've been lately, I'm so happy for you!!
If you don't own a high speed blender you can make icing out of vegan butter and mix it with sugar and a little vanilla extract. It's so good! I soften my butter for 5 seconds in the microwave before adding the sugar and vanilla. 👍
Strawberry shortcake, coconut cream pie, lemon cake or some type of healthy cupcake
All of these recipies look amazing! I have been on a lemon poppy seed kick lately and those energy balls... I didn't know I needed in my life until right now lol I will be making them tomorrow, even better I have all the ingredients already on hand, I can't wait ! Thank you for sharing ! ❤️
Sweet and savory crepes maybe? My grandma used to always make crepes for all our spring time holidays

omg carrot cake is my favorite cake!! so happy to have a vegan , gf and oil free recipe :) thank you!!!
Well all this discussion about carrot cake inspired me to search - and find! - recipes for vegan gingerbread and vegan lemon curd.
Wow that carrot cake looks so good. I’ve never had cashew frosting before and it looks simple to make!
I can't wait to try these. I am new to Vegan and have not tried making deserts yet.
Just made the carrot cake and it was awesome! I used walnuts instead of pecans and turned out great.
I am not that great at baking and making desserts. But that doesn't mean I won't give them a go. It is good to make some chocolate free recipes. Coconut Cream, Soya or Oat (subject to any allergies/intolerances) could be alternatives to Cashew nuts.
I love carrot cake so much and lemon flavored things! Thsnks so much for these recipes! I think I'm going to make that carrot cake this weekend.
i tried your chocolate raspberry tarte and it came out super delicious everyone in my family liked it with the exception that i added a little agave for some sweetness and it was super good great recipes!!!

My friend and I were just trying to think of how you would make vegan lemon bars a couple days ago! Perfect!
Yes we do want to eat a lemon slice on top of it 😝 maybe with candied lemons/preserved lemon (don t know what s the correct word, not English here) though
This makes me so happy for spring!!
I don't really like citrus flavours in savoury dishes but I looove lemon in deserts (not as much of a chocolate fan as I used to be, who would've thought haha), so excited to try all of these thank you !

Caro R. ME!
I love spring because I love seeing all the flowers coming out and the 🌲 developing new leaf's and the sound of the 🐦 singing.
Yes definitely the lemon bars,
But I’ll have to make all these.
Wow your creative
Trader Joes has very good candied lemon and fruit slices that would go perfectly on top of those bars I think :)
Fruit tarts 😍
Made the carrot cake when this came out and now nearly a year later I'm making it again! Very good recipe!
Do you think I could used freshly grate ginger for the carrot cake
I seriously am amused by your videos! The dubbing is just so hilarious 😂 Plus the awesome recipes of course 🙄 😂
These ALL look amazing!
I’m making ALL OF THESE
I think some coconut cream would make the frosting even better!
ooh yes that would be good too!
I think I’ll make the lemon bars for my work bake sale :) where did you get the speckled plate from? Thanks :)
Can you show us how to make rice pop?
this looked amazing!!!!!

More spring dessert ideas: strawberry lemonade bars 🍋, berry cobbler, rhubarb cake...
I want to see something with cherries 🍒
Rhubarb cake is so good, I'd love to see her make it! 😍
digging the first recipe. so easy to make in a dorm room :)
Carrot cake 🖤🖤🖤😍😍😍
Hi I would like to try this lemon bars. One doubt though, do we have to soak the cashews in hot water for 4 hrs or the normal water is enough?
We love a good sloth
I’m always craving carrot cake 🍰🥕
What can I use instead of applesauce in the carrot cake? I’m allergic to apples. Thanks.
Can you use almond flour for the carrot cake??
Where’d you get the plates that the lemon bars were on? :)
The carrot cake was pretty good, but the batter was HEAVENLY 🙏 If I make it again I wouldn't cook it, just eat the batter raw.
Birthday Cake recipe!
These all look so good!! Hope your move is going well :)
