Vegan Carrot lemon mini cake with a honey almond raisin filling

Yes, you read that title correctly.

I created my very first recipe today. I really enjoyed making it, and so far people said it's good. I am calling it a Plankton Cake. It is completely vegan (unless you don't eat honey. it does contain honey).

Plankton Cakes

Preheat over to 350 degrees.

Cake batter:
1 cup whole wheat bread flour
3/4 cups turbinado/cane sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2.5 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup applesauce
2 whole carrots grated
1 lemon peel zested
pinch of salt
handful of pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup ground flax seeds mixed with water (until gooey)
3 tablespoons coconut milk

Mix all ingredients and place into small cake pans (like cupcake pans but with a hole in the center). Bake for 40-45 minutes. The batter will spill over the sides, so do not fill completely.
Let sit.

Filling:

1 cup of almonds ground/chopped
1 cup of raisins
1/2 cup of honey
1/2 cup of agave sweetner (replace with honey if you want)

Mix together and spoon into the indent on the finished cakes.

Chill. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve.





I have never tried it hot, but it tastes good cool. No camera, no pictures. Sorry.
