Carrot Cake
Making a cake is not as hard as you might think. Those who are not experienced bakers often look at a photo of a layer cake and immediately determine they cannot achieve such results. Let me reassure you… You can make this cake. You can make it, and it will turn out just as eye-catching and delicious as mine.
Easy Carrot Cake Recipe
That’s part of what makes this recipe so appealing, in my opinion. It’s easy to bake, easy to frost, and is coated with toasted coconut around the edges to cover any imperfections. No fussy piping techniques necessary.
Moist Carrot Cake
Most cakes with fresh fruit or vegetables in them come out super moist, sometimes too moist, if that’s possible. This makes the cake a bit too dense for my taste. This is not the case with this carrot cake! It is perfectly tender and oh, so delicious!
Why Is This The Best Carrot Cake Recipe?
This cake is perfectly moist from the addition of coconut oil and fresh shredded carrots.
It has a lovely earthy flavor from the carrots and nuts, mixed with a tropical note from the coconut oil and shredded coconut.
This Carrot Cake Recipe is not overly sweet. Some carrot cakes have additional fruit and sugar. I like to take it easy on the sweetness, to let the natural carrot flavor shine… And to offset the frosting.
The frosting is super creamy and tangy. Made with more cream cheese than butter, the tangy-sweet frosting is the perfect complement to the cake layers. You won’t be knocking the frosting off of this carrot cake!
Carrot Cake Conversion
Just be sure to measure the ingredients accurately and you will end up with a rich moist carrot cake that will have all your friends begging for the recipe. In fact, I’ve had a couple of carrot cake haters, tell me this is the best carrot cake recipe they’ve ever tasted as well. Converts are proof of excellence. wink
Toasted Coconut
Finish off this amazing cake with cream cheese frosting and toasted coconut shreds. This makes the carrot cake look effortlessly gorgeous! If you absolutely hate coconut, the solution is just to omit the coconut from the batter and from outside of the cake. It won’t look as pretty, but will still taste great!
Perfect for Easter
The Best Carrot Cake Recipe is a great dessert to serve for Easter… Or pretty much any other day of the year. Why not give it a go? You can do it!
