We're excited to share with you this delicious recipe for this beautiful take on a special family favourite, carrot cake. 

What makes this moist baked health-loving beauty even more special is that it's completely grain-free, refined-sugar free, gluten free and vegan.

Topped with a stunning creamy dairy-free cream cheese, and your choice of nuts and delish sprinkles. 

Whether you are following a gluten free or dairy free diet or not, it is a very simple recipe to make and certainly a crowd pleaser.
We hope you love this recipe by Casey-Lee as much as we do.
