Homemade Carrot Cake
This is one of my favourite Cakes, and I can’t wait to share it with you. A delicious carrot cake recipe, because carrot cake is just too good not to be shared with everyone and this is the best carrot cake I have ever eaten.

This recipe was given to me 26 years ago, baked on a special occasion by my good friend’s mother. Naturally I had to ask for the recipe and I am so glad I did!
