Also try this Fruit Cocktail Cake, and no – it’s not your Gramdma’s version. For another vegetable cake, try this Pumpkin Bundt Cake. YUM!

This Carrot Cake recipe was given to me by a co-worker many years ago, and I instantly fell in love!

I’d consider this to be one of the best cake recipes ever as it’s very easy to make and extremely delicious, it’s super moist, and never dry.

This is hands down the best carrot cake recipe ever!

In fact, this is one of the top recipes that my own friends have requested a copy of and since have always compared others to this.

I’d consider that to be a victory! When we love a recipe, and those we know ask for it as well, it has to be featured on the blog.

Thing is, when I was a kid, I never cared much for this kind of cake. I mean, vegetables in cake?! BLAH! Now? What was I thinking?

I’m glad my own kids love this cake, since it’s now one that I literally crave. It’s such a moist cake combined with the best icing ever.

I’ve even had my kids request it as their birthday cake! Winner!

How to make Carrot Cake

This moist carrot cake actually requires few ingredients, and the most timely part of this recipe is grading the carrots.

I use a simple cheese grader yet there are quicker methods with other tools yet it’s certainly not necessary. This is a good task to pass onto those kids, safety in mind of course!

    I have a carrot cake recipe – somewhat dry in texture. This cake looks so moist. Father’s Day is around the corner – my husband’s favorite cake. Thanks for the recipe. Attempting today, looks like a keeper for my recipe book.

    My carrot cake usually comes out a bit too dry for my liking. It is a favorite in our home so I have resorted to using a mix. I like your recipe and the picture of your cake looks moist and yummy so I’m going to try it.

    I have a question. The shredded carrots that decorate the top of the cake how do you stop them from going brown?

    Reply
    • Tammi says

      02/05/2021 at 1:07 pm

      Good question! I’ve actually never had mine turn brown. I’m not sure if that’s because we eat it within a couple of days, or not …. have you experienced this?
