Carrot Cake Quirked (original recipe by Quirky Cooking)

Came across a great carrot cake recipe by Jo, from Quirky Cooking! Made it without the eggs, I used egg replacer, with regular plain flour, olive oil, no nuts and with sultanas...and it still turned out very yummy! A slowly baked cake that is perfectly finished off with a vegan friendly coconut cream topping! Thanks Jo!
