I was at a simcha recently and they served the most amazing (homemade) carrot cake (with some kind of nuts in it) with a creamy delicious pareve cream chese frosting. Anyone have such a recipe that they can post? Thanks!!

I've used parve cream cheese, marg, soy milk and powdered sugar. I just make the suitable substitutions from a regular recipe.

Tofutti's "Better Than Cream Cheese" product is what I use...enjoy! Wink

It's Kof-K pareve.

Just simply sub the dairy ingredients with the Tofutti pareve cream cheese...I use the "whip" setting on the blender...makes it soooooooo fluffy! I want to know how this goes for you! (If you do not wish to post your results on the open forum, private message me! Wink

Here it is.

4 eggs beaten by fork in a big bowl.
add 1 3/4 cups sugar and mix with a handmixer.
now add the rest of the ingredients which are as follows:

1 cup oil
2/3 of a bag of carrots (pre-bagged carrots) grated
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup chopped walnuts

mix all ingredients together and pour into a greased bundt pan. Bake on 350 degrees and watch it until its ready.

glaze

1/2 cup confectioners sugar
8 oz. whipped cream cheese (tofutti cream cheese if you want it pareve.)

mix together and pour on top of cake.

good luck and enjoy! Very Happy

Bags of carrots come in 1lb, 2lb, and 5lb bags...at least that's how they're packaged in stores here in the South. What size bag do I use 2/3rds of Question

Thank You for the recipe!!! Wink

yenta, how do you pour such a thick glaze it sounds like a frosting. do you spread the frosting on a bundt cake?

In the frosting, when you subsitute the nondairy cream cheese, can you taste the difference?

I would love to make some pareve red velvet cupcakes/cake but it uses a cream cheese frosting, I assume the same one on carrot cake.

no difference, it tastes just as good. toffuti cream cheese tastes just like reg. milchig cream cheese.

I tried the cream cheese frosting for shabbos this week with a different carrot cake recipe. I'll let you know how it comes out.......

I tried yenta's recipe, and I baked the carrot cakes in mini bundt pans. the frosting was too pour, so I added a little vanilla soy milk and then I drizzled it over the tops. they looked really nice and tasted great. everyone was asking me for the recipe! hope you don't mind if I pass this one along...
oh, and I used tofutti cream cheese.
