This is a fat free, sugar free vegan carrot cake with a pudding- ey texture that is excellent for picnic food or lunch boxes. The lychees provide enough sweetness without adding any sugar.


Ingredients (serves 8)

  • 1.5 Cup Wholemeal Self Raising Flour
  • 1.5 Cup Carrots, grated
  • 3/4 Cup Ripe Lychees, skinned, pitted & lightly crushed.
  • 5 Tablesppons Soy Yogurt
  • 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
  • 1 Tablespoon Cold Water, optional

Method

  1. Mix the carrots, lychees, cinnamon, vanilla and yogurt together in alarge bowl.
  2. Preheat oven and prepare an 8 inch cake pan or loaf pan.
  3. Slowly fold in wholemeal self raising flour and mix until smooth. The batter tends to be on the thicker side. Add a little cold water only if required.
  4. Pour into prepared pan and tap to settle mixture down. Bake for 55 - 65 minutes depending on the oven.
  5. Cool before slicing.

  • Wow what a lovely recipe, I’m absolutely going to safe and make it ! I love it that it has no added sugar and uses wholemeal flour, fruit and veggies. For those who are not keen on soy yoghurt, it could be easy be replaced with Greek yoghurt or even with cottage cheese to increase the protein content
