CARROT CAKE DAY
The Only Recipe You Will Ever Need
By Caro
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, mini bundts & even Gluten free too. Add raisins or nuts if you like.
**Thank you Diana for trying lots of my recipes – your photos are lovely.
We used my recipe for a competition in Facebook group – Great British Bake Off Fans. They really did my recipe proud. Here are just a few pics (Andrea, Diana, Sally, Shona, Victoria & Alison)
So why not have a try of my recipe now, and get yourself prepared for Easter baking, (or anytime really – why not? 🙂 )
