Super Moist Carrot Cake
(I'm reposting this recipe to add the new video to it)
I absolutely adore this carrot cake recipe. It's super easy and never lets me down. It's a basic carrot cake that doesn't have a lot of "stuff" packed inside of it so it is definitely a crowd-pleaser. It is soooo soft and moist (finely grated baby carrots is the trick!).
Everytime I make this cake I find myself sneaking into the kitchen and cutting little thin slices and before I know it the whole cake is gone! The cream cheese icing is creamy with just the right amount of sweetness to compliment this carrot cake.
I got this recipe from my sister Nikki. She doesn't bless us with her cooking much, but when she does it is always a hit.
Feel free to add in raisins, pineapples and coconut if you like that in your carrot cake.
