Dessert Recipe: Carrot Cake With Everything
Ideal Birthday Or Wedding Cake: Moist, Delicious Easy Carrot Cake
Young and old party goers love this carrot cake! In spite of the many ingredients and steps, this luscious, but substantial carrot cake is easy to make, and hard to mess up.
Vegan Or Ovo-Lacto Veg: This carrot cake recipe works well and tastes yummy either way.
Healthier Version: Half the sugar, substitute half whole grain flour, and leave off the icing. At that point, you could make muffins or quick bread and call it brunch. We also made a sugar free version, using a diabetic sugar substitute. Powdered stevia or agave (low glycemic index) would work too.
For this carrot cake recipe, you'll need a large sheet cake pan, approximately 11x14 inches. It also makes a nice layer cake, using three small or two medium round layer cake pans. Carrot cake bakes best in relatively thin layers. You'll need to adjust the time if you use different sized pans.
Important: Double the icing recipe for a layer cake.
