Plus I just lòve carròt cake, and I haven’t had it in a very lòng time.

This gluten free vegan carròt cake is sò simple – it’s lightly spiced with cinnamòn and ginger, and tòpped with a sweet cream cheese fròsting. Daiya cream cheese wòrks perfectly, but if yòu aren’t dairy free, just use regular cream cheese.
