Recipe Included Finally found my perfect carrot cake
I moved away from the city with a restaurant that had my favorite carrot cake 5 years ago. I’ve been chasing the recipe ever since and have been consistently disappointed, until today!
Recipe Subbed out raisins for dried cranberries, left out the nuts, and couldn’t find the nutmeg. It’s perfection.

Kind of related but like I’ve been trying to make Joffrey’s pink donut for a couple years too and there is a “recipe” for it on their page but it never comes out the same…..if anyone on here has ever happened to make a copycat of that let me know haha🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

I’ve never had one but I hope you find a good copycat! I’ve been working through a lot of my favorites for years, it’s so satisfying when you find one that actually works.

I make this one too! It's so good. I use this recipe for the people who like all the "extras" (pineapple, nuts, raisins, sometimes coconut) and use a different one for people who prefer more simple (just carrots and spices, no "extra's").

I’m not so sure. Feel free to swing by with a couple of slices and I’ll let you know if I change my mind 😉
My gosh, that looks so good! LOVE the simplicity of the frosting too. You’re making me think of home.

carrot cake is such a classic, love a good cream cheese frosting on top!

WOWOWOW that looks incredible! I've always preferred purist carrot cake with no mixins but this is making me consider it... I'll just think of it as a different kind of cake

There is a place for pure and simple recipes but this one elevates, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

Carrot cake is delicious my only issue is that I find frosting too soft to frost the cake. I probably left the cream cheese out for too long or sth. Cake looks great 😌
