National Carrot Cake Day

It's NATIONAL CARROT CAKE DAY! Easily a favourite bake in most households, but finding a perfect recipe is not so simple. Look no further - here's my classic recipe for the layer cake with orange cream cheese frosting. So versatile, it can be used to make layer cakes, bundts, cupcakes, squares/traybake, mini bundts & even Gluten free too. Add raisins or nuts if you like.
