When I used to live in Dubai, I loved Lime Tree's carrot cake. So after I moved, whenever I miss carrot cake, I use this recipe to bake my own.

My oldest daughter is not a fan of cake but loves when we have this carrot cake! She even wants it for her upcoming fall wedding!

My parents worked hard from a young age until their last days. Mom wasn't a whiz in the kitchen, but when she took the time, the little or much she prepared was truly amazing. This dessert was made with boxed cake mix and store-bought frosting, adding a few ingredients to make it truly exquisite and delicate. She was so creative in presenting her dishes that almost no one believed she made them with her own hands! I cherish this photo because we made this cake together about 4 years ago, and I'm very comforted to share the recipe with you.

I actually made this cake for Valentine's day. I mean Valentine's day is too overfilled with chocolate and heart shapes. Sometimes we just need a simple cake like this. Unlike all the carrot cakes which I'd tasted, there're actually carrots in this cake. Those commercial cakes are usually filled with food coloring and artificial flavorings. To make the cake worse, they used over-sugary cream cheese fillings which kinda make the cakes unbearable to eat, IMHO.As you should have known, I am not a fan of cakes. So, if I have to eat a cake, it has to be my way; dense, moist, fudgy and custardy without over the top sweetness or frosting. Bruno Albouze seems to have what I am looking for.

There are a few names to call the honeycomb: honeycomb toffee, hokey pokey or cinder toffee. It is like a science experiment when the baking soda is added. I also decided to keep my cake 100% vegan, cos it is one of my goals for 2019; to push out at least 1 vegan recipe a week. In closing, I really hope you will give this recipe a try. I know I am late tho, but this cake will sit well on any dining table without any special occasion.

Like most women, I love all that is sweet but I sometimes feel quite guilty when eating large quantities. It's like I can't have just one piece and I believe many of you feel the same way I do. In this recipe I used a very small amount of oil and less sugar than in the original one so feel free to have not one, not two, but as many pieces of this cake as you like! Also, it's a very quick and tasty desert you can make when you don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen so when you're in a hurry and you're craving something sweet, this is the recipe for you. Have fun making it! I’d love to see all your beautiful photos, so feel free to post them and don’t forget to leave a comment!

Seriously the best. Mom always makes this recipe and everyone everywhere raves about it.

It's said that this cake doesn't have the raw taste of carrots, so I wanted to try it out. It turned out to be quite delicious, and the addition of brown sugar gives it a great flavor.TipsFor the vegetable oil, I used sunflower oil (it's suggested online not to use olive oil as the flavor would be too strong). You can use butter, but vegetable oil is a bit healthier.Tasting NotesThe carrot cake with the caramelized flavor of brown sugar doesn't have any of the raw carrot taste.

Carrot cake was my mother’s favorite cake. I can remember being four years old and peeling carrots and licking the batter off of the spoon. My father always had something to say about the raw eggs, but my mother didn’t care. Haha, I survived!! Anyway, I got this lamb mold and I wanted to try it out, so I made a carrot cake. This will of course work with any pan.

I wanted to make the carrot cake from my youth.It was heavy on the sweetness, which I didn't mind, but for this recipe, I wanted to keep its moistness (this is key!) while making it a bit healthier.Baking time vary by oven.If it seems like it's going to burn, cover with aluminum foil.

When you want a less sweet sweet treat, carrot cake is a great option that will give you your serving of veggies while enjoying a baked good! Plus, made with extra virgin olive oil from Spain, it's better for your heart than other baked goods - meaning you can really enjoy your sweet treat.
