How To Make carrot cake

  • 3
    In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients, plus the pureed carrots.
  • 4
    Mix ALL of the ingredients– wet and dry– together until completely smooth.(pineapple, pecans, 3/4 cup coconut etc - save 1/4 cup coconut to sprinkle on top of the cake once its frosted)

    Wait until the cakes are cool, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting, layer by layer, and enjoy!
