Single Serve Carrot Cake (Vegan, Sugar & Gluten Free)

A single serve recipe is always a winner. Perfect for when you want a sweet treat but you don't want a 2 tier, 16 slice cake lying around for a week. Not only is this carrot cake recipe ideal for a single serve, it is also made that touch bit healthier, without sugar, so we could even call it breakfast if you so desired!

I made this gluten free by opting for buckwheat flour, but feel free to sub for oat or regular flour if you prefer!

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup buckwheat flour (or oat flour)

• 1/2 cup grated carrot

• 1 tsp chia seeds

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/8 tsp ginger

• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tbsp coconut yoghurt

• 3-4 tbsp soy milk

Protein Frosting:

• 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder

• 2 tbsp coconut yoghurt

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180C. Line a small ovenproof dish with baking paper.

2. Mix all cake ingredients into an oven proof dish until a thick batter forms.

3. Cook for approximately 15 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing in half and layering with protein frosting.

4. To make frosting, simply mix together yoghurt and protein powder until smooth.
