There are not many vegetables as versatile as carrots, and this vegan carrot with vegan frosting proves that. I make this moist, naturally sweet dessert with grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and maple syrup. This is by no means a sad vegan knock-off; this cake is right up there with the original recipes.
