Best Ever Carrot Cake Recipe

I think I mentioned it before, but I’m now a regularly contributing poster for the sweet ladies over at Made From Pinterest. Since we’re well into the windy month of March, I thought it would be nice to make a pretty kite-inspired cake topper. My inspiration for this quick-to-make project came from Nikki at Tikkido.

Now, underneath that pretty topper, I have one of my special-make-it-for-every-celebration cakes:  Best-Ever Carrot Cake. My friend Meg requested it for her Coffee & Cravings baby shower, and mom makes me bake one every time I go home, at it was a special order for her & dad’s 40th wedding anniversary.

All the fruit and vegetables in the ingredients ensure that this carrot cake stays super moist, which makes it super good. It’s a pour and mix cake, so it’s pretty easy for anyone to make – and I’m happy to share it with you today!

Meet Paula

My father came home from a trip for work when I was a little girl toting a huge (to me) book of fairy tales. I was instantly smitten with the beautiful illustrations and the stories that came alive from those worn pages. My favorite was always the frog prince…my mother read it to me over and over (and over.) Read More…
