i took this in for my office mate today and he about died. i forget his exact quote, but he has wanted to add me on as a second wife of baking before. 'nice and moist, not to dense. the cinnamon was perfect' was all i remember. he ate about 1/3 of a two layer frosted cake today.

Have you tried this without any oil?
This probably sounds really silly, but does the flax seed have to be ground?

This sounds delicious, I can't wait to try it!

The flax seeds do have to be ground, otherwise they won't function like eggs, they'll just be flax seeds floating around in the recipe...

I made this recently and it was gorgeous! I was initially unsure cos it seemed an awful lot of carrot to mix in with the other stuff but it came out fine (even though I used gluten free flour too.) It was really moist and a really light texture, too.

I'll post a picture next time I make it!

I made this last night and it was great. My fiance finished it the same night. This recipe is easy and wonderdul tasting. I topped it with cream cheese frosting.

 ;)This recipe worked very well for me. Of course, I modified a bit, making cupcakes instead of a cake and they turned out fantastic even though I subbed 1/2 cup flour for rye flour and added 1 tsp baking powder (fluffy cupcakes ^^ - only baked for 20 mins). I also added 1/4 tsp of vanilla, and 3/4 cup mixed walnuts and raisins. Im sharing these (of course - it made like 24 cupcakes) and I can only hope everyone else thinks theyre as good as I do!

This was really good.
Next time, I'll try it with 3/4 cup applesauce and 1/4 oil.

here is a slice of cake. if you make it with flax for the egg, it is denser than if you use ener-g. the frosting is 1/3 pack of tofutti better than cream cheese, about 2 tb earth balance shortening, a box (1 lb) of powdered sugar and vanilla mixed in a food processor and then mixed with beaters.

Very good recipe.  So far the best cake recipe I've tried off this site.  If I hadn't make it myself I would have doubted that it was vegan!  I chose to use ground flax seeds, applesauce, and pumpkin pie spice.  I also made a few modifications/subs:  whole wheat flour, added 1/2 tsp vanilla, and 1/2 c of shredded coconut.  Baked in a 9 inch springform pan for 65 min. Fabulous!  I'll try it next time in cupcake form with frosting next time.  Can't wait!

Best carrot cake ever - though I cut down on the sugar and think I will eliminate even more next time.  Too sweet to add icing too.  But sooo good!

This carrot cake is amazing, I could seriously live off of it and nothing else. Granted that I'd gain 100 lbs and eventually die, but it'd all be worth it. PERFECT carrot cake! Without the goofy pineapple and gobs of oil that are in most. Definitely my favorite carrot cake recipe that I've ever made.

This cake is so moist and delicious, without adding unnecessary oil. It tastes much fresher than store bought carrot cake, and I'd like to think that it's better for me as well. I added some chopped walnuts to the batter, and next time, maybe I'll add some soaked raisins. Yum, this is going to become a regular in my house. Thanks!

I made this for my 6 year old daughter's birthday. I'm making it again today for my husband's birthday. Fantastic. We vegans eat so well
