Add the sugar and salt and allow to cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. In a large bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Add the carrot mixture, along with the soy milk, and combine just until mixed. Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan and pour in the batter. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Frost with a vegan cream cheese frosting. |
