Super Moist Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

Melt in your mouth moist carrot cake smothered in cream cheese icing.

The first time I had a moist carrot cake was at a birthday party and at first, I thought it was an odd choice for a birthday cake but who am I to judge. Plus, I thought why would anyone want to turn a carrot into a cake, it just sounded wrong but boy was I wrong. Fast forward years later, I find myself loving it and probably would make it now for a party. If you need an excuse to make this cake, Spring is upon us and that obviously calls for a party.

Since discovering my newfound love for carrot cake, I often order it whenever I see it on the menu. Although at first, I was the only one in my family that seems to crave it, with a bit of finessing the rest of my family have slowly fallen in love.

I will be the first to tell you though, that not all carrot cake are created the same. Clearly, I have had good ones, and I have also had some really not so good ones, dry and just plain wrong. Over the years, I have learned to make them and I can tell you, I have failed at it more times than I care to admit. However, practice makes perfect and sometimes we learn a thing or two from those lessons. Oh and let me give you a little tip, the secret to a super moist carrot cake is oil, yes lots of oil.

If you want your little ones to assist you in the kitchen, have them grate the carrots or they can help you sift the flour. Another reason to love carrot cake it’s because it’s a genius way to hide vegetables from the little ones. Still not convinced, how about Carrot Cake Muffins, now I have piqued your interest. Make some and toss it in the kid’s lunch box or they can have it for breakfast.
