Carrot Cake

A Carrot Cake is full of flavor and will melt in your mouth, without being mushy.  The carrots soften in the cooking process and thus leaving a soft, dense texture for the cakes.

The carrots themselves enhance the flavor, texture, and appearance of the cake. Many carrot cake Recipe include optional ingredients, such as nuts and raisin. Most commonly carrot cake has a cream cheese icing on it. The icing is made using icing sugar, butter and cream cheese. This is optional. In my cake I have not add the icing, but you add it based on preference.
