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!
