This carrot cake I have made so many styles and it is the best tasting EVERYtime!! Something about the spices and LOTS of carrot makes it amazing, rich yet super healthy!

Whether it is dairy free, gluten/grain free, I haven’t tried egg free though. That is probably why it is always so good ;). It never fails and many people have adopted this recipe for their pleasure. Makes a great holiday or birthday cake even for little ones!
