I made this today. It’s excellent! I made a few adjustments to the recipe. Instead of flax egg, I used Ener-G egg replacer. Instead of 1 cup of grated carrot, I used 1/2 a cup. Instead of 1/2 a cup of apple, I used a full cup. I wanted more apple flavor than carrot, and this worked out well. I don’t use oil or vegan butter, so I replaced the oil with Forager cashew milk yogurt. I’ve done this in other vegan recipes with a good amount of success. The cake is a little more dense than I anticipated (possibly due to my substitutions), but I like it a lot! It’s substantial and filling – which makes it a perfect snack cake. This one’s a keeper.

In reply to Britney. Hi Britney, We’d suggest 1 large or 2 small eggs. If not gluten-free, we'd recommend keeping the almond flour and replacing the gluten-free flour blend with 1 cup all purpose flour. For a nut-free option, you could do a classic cream cheese frosting – it will just be more decadent.

This looks amazing! Could you give some substitute options? Like instead of flax eggs, you can substitute x eggs. Or instead of gluten free flour you can use x amount of ___ flour. And possibly an option for homemade frosting not made using nuts.
