Best Homemade Carrot Cake Mix

I love this cake mix.   Although, I’m not a big fan of carrots I do love this cake!  Come to think of it, I can’t think of any cakes I don’t like.  Can you?

I especially like this recipe  because it’s healthy, right?  It has carrots in it, so that makes it healthy!

Kinda sorta, I guess.

Ok, maybe not healthy, but I promise it is good!

This recipe is easy to put together and well worth it!  You can turn it into cupcakes and I even gave you a recipe for carrot cake cookies.  You can sandwich the cookies between cream cheese icing for yummy treats.

Now get in the kitchen and start baking!
