My Healthy Cake Joke

I always made a joke as a kid how healthy this cake was.



I got all my vitamins from the carrots, raisins and there was eggs in the cake so we should be able to eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner.



My mother didn't see the humor in that. I was quite the joker.

The Frosting is my Favorite!

All the time I would just love this frosting back then and sneak that off a little at a time.


I wasn't as crazy about this cake bake then as I am now.

Carrot Cake is one of those comfort food cakes and addicting.

It's usually a little heavier than most cakes.


This one carrot cake bursts with the richness of homemade flavors.


The cream cheese frosting is fantastic.


I always love the creamy texture of that.


The cake and the frosting are so easy to make I almost feel guilty.
