It’s such a minimal amount use whatever you have on hand. Oat milk, almond milk or even a non dairy creamer.

Hi, for the “no cream cheese, cream cheese frosting” what “milk alternative” would you suggest?

[…] Carrot cake is like a nice spice cake, it’s great any time of day. It makes a great breakfast cake, the perfect snack cake to serve with coffee or tea, it’s a nice birthday cake as well. It freezes nicely and well. I love carrot cake and have made many recipes. Sometimes I like making a smaller carrot cake, 8″ round or loaf cake, sometimes I like to make a carrot bunt cake. […]

Hi Diane- thank you for the prompt reply. I kept adding baking time in 7 – 10 min increments. Funny when I googled that it said it was fine to substitute one for the other. Lesson Learned!! I am hopeful it wont be too different from a pudding cake :p
I really want to try more small cakes as it is just my husband and I.
Thank you!

cake flour is lighter, and if you didn’t adjust for that by adding more flour it may not bake up the same. If you are baking it in a bundt pan, it will take time to bake up usually 50-55 minutes, so I’d say keep baking it, even if that means an extra 10 minutes on top of the 55. As long as you don’t overbake it, it won’t be dry.
If it does not turn out as you planned I have some suggestions on how to salvage a cake mess here>>> https://www.createdby-diane.com/2020/04/hot-fudge-cake.html
just bake the cake until it’s done, then salvage the center of the cake if it is dry on the outside edges, and use the frosting of choice to top with instead of fudge if you wanted a more traditional cream cheese frosting 🙂
hope that helps.

Hi I am making the carrot 8″ round cake. I used cake flour (on hand) instead of all purpose. I am currently on 40 mins at 350 and it is still basically a wet cake. Any quick assistance?
