1 pkg. Namaste Foods Spice Cake Mix
4 eggs (or equivalent Namaste Vegan Egg Replacer)
3/4 cup water
2/3 cup oil or melted butter
1 cup grated carrots
handful raisins (or dried cranberries)
1 container cream cheese frosting
12 half pint canning jars (opening as big or bigger than bottom)
Directions
- Heat oven to 350° F.
- Lightly spray mason jars with non-stick spray.
- Combine all ingredients together and mix well.
- Pour cake batter into mason jars and fill half way or slightly more; take care not to over fill or they will rise out of the jar and potentially fall over while baking.
- Place jars on a baking sheet and bake in oven for 40-45 minutes; until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let stand for 5-10 minutes.
- Once cool to handle; turn jars upside down to allow cakes to "pour" out onto platter to cool completely.
- When cakes are completely cooled; slice into 2" thick slices and arrange on plates.
- Warm container of cream cheese frosting in microwave safe bowl for 15 seconds to melt. Do not over heat frosting or it will separate and require whipping back together.
- Drizzle cream cheese frosting over slices and serve.
