All my carrot cake recipes are made with fresh carrots, the perfect blend of spices and a sweet, heavenly frosting! Excellent but the printed recipe is a little too moist. I made it to a T the first time, and the cake was good but a bit oily. This one layer carrot cake is super moist, wonderfully spiced, and perfect for smaller gatherings and celebrations. Topped with sweet, tangy cream cheese frosting and toasted pecans, it's love at first bite.
