The Best Carrot Cake EVER.

I love cake. Big surprise, I know. But I REALLY love carrot cake. I don’t know if I’d commit to saying it’s my favorite flavor of cake, but it definitely ranks in my top three spots.

A few years ago my grandma shared this carrot cake recipe with me in the form of an actual cake. I think I ate the entire cake myself over the course of three days. Cake for breakfast, cake for lunch, cake for dinner, until it was gone.  (Obviously I struggle with a balanced diet.)

With spring here, Easter this weekend and Mother’s Day just around the corner, I’m sharing the recipe with you! For a from scratch cake, it’s pretty simple to make. I laid it all out for you in my latest YouTube video:

    Have you tried using this recipe for cupcakes? What you recommend for temp and bake time?

  4. I have been asked to make this cake as a wedding cake. Can I prepare it and put it in the freezer until it’s time to deliver it?
    Also, I haven’t tried your recipe yet but I did make one that I poured a sauce recipe over the top. I asked my husband how he liked it and he said it was mushy! I’m going to try your recipe. I also made the cream cheese recipe that accompanied the r3cipe and it was VERY runny. Not sure what I did wrong except maybe used the Walmart cream cheese. The only liquid the recipe called for was the vanilla!
