carrot cake without using nuts recipe needed

[changeisgood]

Hi,
I'd love to make some carrot cake with the pulp. But I can't eat nuts or atleast very little almond or pecans (though I shouldn't).
Any ideas for substitutions for cake and frosting?
I might as well ask if anyone knows any raw cookbooks with recipes not using nuts. It seems most have nuts in them.
I'd like a treat every know and then.
Thanks

The cake part should be easy enough but not sure about the frosting. Most recipes I have seen use cashews.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup carrot pulp (ours was a mixture of about 3 carrots and one apple)
1 1/2 cups coconut flakes
1/4 cup +1 tbsp date paste ( can use agave or maple syrup if you do have dates)
1/4 cup raisins
2 tsp coconut sugar or maple sugar (not raw but adds great flavor and texture)
1 tbsp mesquite (optional)
2 tbsp vanilla
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Frosting: we used coconut butter whipped with some stevia, vanilla, and a little agave. But you can use any frosting you prefer! Also we did not add nuts but you could always throw in some chopped walnuts.

Directions:

Take your carrot pulp and remaining ingredients into place into food processor and pulse a few times to get all ingredients well combined! You may use your hands to combine ingredients if you do not have a food processor :)

And form cake dough into muffin liners or cake pan. We did ours individual ramekins (made 3). And dehydrate for a few hours, maybe 4-5 hours.

Remove from pan/liners and let dehydrate for another 4 hours or so. You want the cake to feel dry but not over dry, have a little bit of moistness to it :)

Once it comes out just top with frosting and devour.
