3. Mold into desired shape and place in dehydrator at 115 Fahrenheit for 4 hours or until firm enough to hold frosting.

Wow is this one a winner! First time I dehydrated a raw "cake" and it makes a huge difference with mouth-feel and flavor. It really is nearly indistinguishable from a (denser) baked carrot cake. I doubled the recipe for the cake only and still had lots of frosting left, which I have no complaints about ;) About doubled the spices, too, and cut the agave a bit, but otherwise it's a perfect recipe. Thank you for sharing, Hannah! I am definitely going to make these into mini cupcakes at the next (omni) church potluck. I'll report back :)
