2 cups grated carrot
8 oz pineapple (drained)
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 block (4 oz) vegan cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup vegna butter, softened

2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
3. Add the sugar and oil to the flax eggs.
4. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet. Gently fold them together and add the carrots, pineapple and walnuts.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake them for about 35 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.
6. To make the frosting beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth, then add the vanilla and icing sugar. *Depending on the size of cake you end up making you may need more icing, but don't worry the recipe is easily doubled.
7. Allow cake to cool before icing it. Enjoy!
