    Unlike so many YouTube channels this Healthy Vegan Eating channel has no need or desire to beg for Likes, Sunscriptions or even beg for more comments. Now that's a very high quality channel.

    If you cook the carrots in a pressure cooker with some baking soda they will actually caramelize and taste extremely sweet. I often use that trick to sweeten something without adding sugar.
  • @janssensilva765
    And I just appreciate (seriously appreciate) the recipe in the description box rather than a link to a site overly crushed w ads, etc. Much easier. This is now the vegan channel of choice in this house!!!
  • Why only so few of the viewers put a “like” on this video, is beyond me. This cake is heavenly to eat and make. THANK YOU, SIR !

  • Oh my, this is the best healthy cake I've made. Switch it, didn't have enough carrots to puree so used sweet potatoe instead and shredded carrots, instead of dates syrup, I used maple syrup and walla! Yummy.

    Where have you been with your cooking abilities on youtube? With this knowledge about baking. Your videos are such a refreshing addition to the Youtube channel. This is a real educational video for Youtube.
  • @leandraparks
    I made this today and this is one of the best plant based desserts I ever made. It was so good and I didn’t feel bloated after eating it 😊
  • @supermaniac5
    That looks really good. I’m not vegan but I enjoy watching people make healthy vegan alternatives to classics. 👍 I had a coworker that was vegan who made vegan nacho cheese from cashews. The science behind vegan cooking is super interesting to me 👍
  • @Olibelus
    We made this yesterday with my girlfriend and it was absolutely awesome! I didn’t have carrot puree so I substituted it with apple puree and it worked fantastic. Thanks for all that you do, amazing channel, message, and presentation!
  • @gracehall9199
    For those whom can’t purée the carrots like me, organic purée baby carrots would probably work very well. ❤

  • @dlg5485
    This looks downright delectable. I'm not vegan, but I will definitely be making this cake over the weekend. I've been trying to eat healthier as I get older, especially reducing sugar/carbs, and this recipe looks like a keeper.
  • @SvnnyMoney
    man this a good cake! I made it last night and didnt expect a carrot cake to be good. I dont know if I ever had one or tried it when I was younger and said "nope" because of the carrots but gosh almighty this is good!.
