Super Moist Carrot Cake Mix

I love that so many Betty Crocker mixes are vegan! They certainly aren’t healthy, but they’re great for making an easy and quick dessert! This was half off so I thought I’d give it a try. Instead of adding the 3 eggs as it says on the back I added three “vegan eggs” (Bob’s Red Mill egg replacer). It was realllyyyy good, so moist and soft. I added walnuts and a butter and sugar topping that melted into the cake in certain parts to make some gooey sugary parts and it was so yum. No carrots in sight, and it almost just tasted like a spiced cake. #vegancarrotcake #sweettooth

I had no idea Betty Crocker made a carrot cake AND that it was #vegan! My mom bought it, after double checking online that it was vegan. Soooo kind! Instead of eggs, we used baking powder and apple sauce. It kind worked? It tasted amazing, but the #cupcakes barely held together. They just fell apart. Oh well! She got this at No Frills for less than $2.

#bettycrocker #vegancake #vegancakemix #ditchdairy #ditcheggs I finally got around to making this carrot cake after buying the cake mix at least 6 months ago. Betty Crocker cakes are so good / delicious, and surprisingly vegan. The suggested recipe on the box is not vegan, but the cake mix itself is.  Needless to say, I veganized the recipe. Instead of using 3 eggs, I used the equivalent of 3 eggs with ground flaxseed and water.(a 1:3 ratio for each egg). and to make the cake a little healthier or a little less unhealthy, I used unsweetened applesauce instead of oil. In addition, I mixed in a bit of pumpkin spice flavoured date spread for extra moistness (this will be reviewed next). The cake still retained its carrot flavour as it always does. The visible and tiny carrot flavoured bits help. I’m actually surprised that I baked the cake; I often eat the cake mix raw. Why delay the pleasure?  Like many cake mixes, there’s a lot of sugar and salt in it. Otherwise, I would make this much more often.  I bought the cake mix at No Frills.  The regular price nowadays is ridiculous; maybe $3 or $4 which I refuse to pay. I’ll only buy the cake mix on sale and when I can’t resist anymore.
