Great video. I appreciate the simplicity easy to follow steps. This cake looks delish! I’ll give it a go once I get some cream cheese and coconut!

Thank you for this version of a healthier carrot cake ,I am willing to give it a try.🤩😍👍👍👍

[@raimondisdocessalgados4390]

Loved it!!! From São Paulo-Brazil

[@annwickham4332]

I don't own a food processor so could this be done with a hand mixer? Love the recipe

[@SususCookbook]

Hi Ann, I would suggest that you place all the ingredients EXCEPT the carrots, pecan nuts and raisins into a large mixing bowl. Use your hand mixer to blend everything else together. For the carrots, an old fashioned grater would work a treat. You will also need to crush the pecans and chop the raisins separately before adding to the other blended ingredients. I hope this helps! And thanks for watching😊

[@donnadallariva8377]

Is there an alternative to raisons .?

[@SususCookbook]

You can substitute with chopped dates or leave out altogether. The recipe still works😀

Can I use oat meal flour instead of almond flour?

[@SususCookbook]

Oatmeal flour can certainly be a substitute for almond flour, using a 1:1 ratio. The flavor will be slightly different though as oatmeal doesn't have the same depth of nutty taste. Almond flour is heavier and denser, whereas oat flour is lighter. Although I have not tried this recipe using oat flour, I imagine the result will be a lighter and fluffier textured cake. Hope this helps, and happy baking!😀

Can I use Jaggery as sweetener instead of maple syrup and apple sauce?

[@SususCookbook]

Jaggery may not be a good substitute sweetener for this particular recipe. The reason is that jaggery will not provide moisture to the recipe like maple syrup and apple sauce.

[@lorrainevart8827]

Would honey be okay instead of maple syrup

[@SususCookbook]

Liquid honey could certainly work, although it would alter the taste. I would be interested to know the results😊

[@carlanora1697]

Do you use almond flour or ground almonds?

[@SususCookbook]

I've only ever used almond flour in this recipe. If using ground almonds, they would need to be blanched, peel removed, and then ground. Almonds that have been ground with skin on produce almond meal which is a little different in color and texture. I would love to know the results if you do use whole almonds! Thanks for watching😊

[@vcreates4136]

What temp do you bake it at?

[@SususCookbook]

Preheat and bake at 350 F (175 C) Enjoy😊

[@vcreates4136]

Thank you!

[@leonk9837]

Anyone, please let me know of substitutes for desiccated coconut and almond flour!

[@SususCookbook]

You can substitute the almond flour with cassava flour or oat flour using a 1:1 ratio. The desiccated coconut can be replaced with the same quantity of whichever flour you are using. The texture will, of course, be different. You may also need to adjust the baking time as almond flour bakes faster than some other flours. Hope this helps!

[@aylaresfandiari]

Hi, thank you for this great recipe, I have a question, can I replace rice flour instead of almond flour /and instead of maple syrup can I use brown sugar?!

[@SususCookbook]

You should be able to replace the almond flour with rice flour. Brown rice flour would probably be best. As rice flour is more starchier than almond flour, it will alter the texture. If you use brown sugar in place of maple syrup then be sure to add a little extra milk as you will have reduced the liquid in the cake mix. All the best, and please share the results😊❤

@@SususCookbook thank you so much💜

[@unskillfullymasterful]

Hello, I just have a smoothie blender would it work or would it overblend the ingredients?

[@SususCookbook]

Hi! I would not recommend using a smoothie blender for this type of cake as it would over mix the ingredients and possibly liquidize the carrots. I would suggest you use shredded carrots, chopped nuts, and mix everything in a bowl using a wooden spoon. It may take longer than using a blender but your carrot cake will have the right texture. I hope this helps and you enjoy making this recipe😊

[@unskillfullymasterful]

@@SususCookbook thank you so much!! Seriously such an amazing recipe. 👏 I did take out the raisins though for preference.. Do you think I can substitute banana instead of raisin? ❤️

[@SususCookbook]

Certainly leave out the raisins - they are not everyone's preference. Banana is not really a substitution for raisins in this recipe as it will introduce more moisture which we already have with the apple sauce. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and for your query😘

[@prathimask1608]

Can we skip coconut?

[@SususCookbook]

Yes, you can. You could replace with 1/2 cup almond flour so the solid to liquid ratios remain balanced.

[@prathimask1608]

@@SususCookbookthank you !

[@AABrastle131]

Would love to try your recipe, but I have a coconut allergy, would I be able to substitute the coconut oil with extra apple sauce or another type of oil? Thanks!

[@SususCookbook]

Coconut oil can be substituted in this recipe with sunflower oil using the same quantity. I hope this helps! Thank you for watching😊

[@flowerlove2985]

can you post the nutrition of a slice of cake...sugar, carbs etc

[@SususCookbook]

This is my homemade recipe and I don't have nutritional breakdowns for it. Sorry I can't help you with that. Thanks for watching:)

[@ABAB-zv1tp]

What could be the alternative of eggs for vegetarians?

[@SususCookbook]

Thanks for your question. You can use aquafaba (the water from canned chickpeas) which is a good egg replacement. You will need 6 tablespoons of aquafaba for this recipe. It needs to be whipped until it is creamy before adding to.the recipe. Happy baking❤

[@sit638]

Can I use grated carrots?

[@SususCookbook]

You can use grated carrots - the texture is a little different but it does not affect the overall result hugely. I suggest you mix them into the batter right at the end after blitzing the pecans and sultanas - putting grated carrots into the food processor will result in them becoming watery. Hope this helps😊

[@ramonabettencourt7285]

Temperature of oven????

[@vickigomez7034]

She says 350

[@ramonabettencourt7285]

Temperature often for Carrots, cake

[@ramonabettencourt7285]

Temperature oven

[@SususCookbook]

The oven temperature should be 350°F (approx 175°C).

[@sisipruitt]

This isn’t for clean eaters because it contains eggs.

[@safina8877]

I disagree. If the eggs are from free range, grain fed hens, it absolutely meets the definition of clean food. Clean eating doesn't mean vegan or even vegetarian, it just means no factory farmed animal products or highly processed ingredients - natural foods, basically.

[@sisipruitt]

@@safina8877 I don’t agree. But hey…

[@SususCookbook]

@sisi pruitt, thanks for your comment. Please see this link, it is a useful article published by Harvard School of Public Health that provides more information on the subject of what is generally considered clean eating: /nutritionsource/clean-eating/ If you prefer not to use eggs in the recipe then you can use aquafaba (the water from canned chickpeas) which is a good egg replacement. You will need 6 tablespoons of aquafaba for this recipe. It needs to be whipped until it is creamy before adding to the recipe. Hope this helps:)
