The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

I am not just saying this, but this literally is the best-ever carrot recipe and I have tried a few. And with this recipe I think that I have finally cracked it as this recipe is full of flavour and moist without being mushy. Not too sweet and with a lovely crunch, this carrot cake is very easy to make and a definite crowd pleaser! And topped with a cream cheese frosting it simple delicious and it's really hard to say no to a second slice. This carrot cake recipe was a hit with my husband and my little lady that's for sure. You can also make changes to the recipes which can make such as difference, try replacing the carrot with beetroot and add orange zest for a delicious refreshing taste.
