Sinfully Delicious Carrot Cake
My husband has three flavors of cake that he just loves! Banana, sponge and carrot cake are his all time favorites. A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated his birthday and he requested a carrot cake.
I love carrot cake too, but I want one that is super moist and full of flavor. This one steps up to the plate and delivers!!! Lisa, who won’t admit that she likes carrot cake, loved it as well.

This sounds delicious! The picture looks like the cake was baked in a 9×12 cake pan, but then you stated to pour the batter into cake pans. Did you do a layer cake? Looking forward to trying your recipe!
This cake was baked in a 9×12 pan but if you want to be fancy you can use the cake pans. I would love to hear how it turns out for you!
