Raw carrot cake with vanilla cashew frosting.

I have been enjoying all things raw of late and after seeing a few other recipes for raw carrot cake floating around I decided to ditch the Asda extra special hand finished carrot cake and give this one a whirl. It turned out so delicious that I am planning a raw tiramisu next.
