No unusual or hard to find ingredients means you likely already have the ingredients you need! Or at the very least, you won&#8217;t need to hunt too hard! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:24px\">I am a huge lover of a good bit of spice in carrot cake, so this incorporates cinnamon and mixed spice. This results in a lightly spiced cake that pairs perfectly with the frosting. The maple buttercream is so easy to make and comes together like a dream. Again, you would never know it&#8217;s vegan! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:24px\">This makes an 8&#8243; square cake, but feel free to double the recipe to create a two layer birthday cake! For me, this sort of cake is perfect as a &#8220;snacking cake&#8221;. As in, cut a piece whenever you&#8217;re feeling snarky! That said, it does make a gorgeous birthday cake for the vegans in your life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:24px\">For my Vegan Carrot Cake with Maple Buttercream, I use a basic 8\u2032 square pan (<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2TmR6SP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I like this one<\/a>). I also recommend a good stand mixer or high speed mixer (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B0828CKSFC\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=B0828CKSFC&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=tastingthyme-21&amp;linkId=05d2d347849771648718dbec6b6db060\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">like this one<\/a>) to make the cake mixture.
