The Ultimate Carrot Cake
There’s a reason why @bonniebrazilb has called this the The Ultimate Carrot Cake with frosting: it’s extra moist and tender and flavored with the perfect blend of spices. It’s then topped with a smooth and creamy whipped cream cheese frosting. The end result is, dare I say it, the BEST homemade carrot cake you’ve ever had! Plus it’s high in Free Soul Protein 💅🏻

🥕Allow to cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then gently remove and allow to cool completely on a wire rack
