Directions

Cake
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spray inside of jars with cooking oil spray
2. In food processor, combine sugar, oil, almond milk and applesauce. Pulse for 10-20 seconds. Using the shredder disk, shred carrots into the mixture.
3. Transfer carrot mixture to a mixing bowl. Add dry ingredients and mix with a hand mixer until all ingredients are combined, about one minute.
4. Fill jars half full. If you have more batter than jars, put the rest in a baking dish.  
5. Place jars in a shallow baking dish with 1/2 inch of water at the bottom. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the top of the cake springs back when touched. Cool and spoon a dab of frosting on top.
Frosting
1. Combine frosting ingredients in a high speed blender. Start the blender on low and gradually increase speed. Add an extra tablespoon of almond milk if necessary to get the blade moving. Add more sugar or lemon to taste.
2. Blend until very smooth.
3. Chill for at least 30 minutes before spreading to firm it up.
