Healthy Vegan Carrot Cake with Cashew Vanilla Icing

Thank you for all the love I have received on my Instagram page for this cake. I have loved seeing the remakes and I hope everyone will love it. I want to make it again but sadly the oven in our temporary accommodation isn't working. Not having an oven is really not ideal for someone who bakes 2-3 times a week haha

Hopefully we get to have it fixed very soon.
