How to Make Vegan Applesauce Carrot Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the applesauce, oil, and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  4. Add the cooked applesauce mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the carrots, shredded coconut, walnuts, and raisins. Gently fold into the batter.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
