Carroty Carrot Cake
Use fresh carrots from your garden if you’ve grown them, if not store bought is totally fine! No nuts, no pineapple, just carrots. That’s all a carrot cake really needs after all. Well, that and heaps of cream cheese frosting. I mean, right?
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 Cups Sugar
- 1 Cup Apple Sauce
- 3 Large Eggs

- 1 1/2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tsp. Baking Soda
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 14 tsp. Ground Nutmeg
- 3 Cups Shredded Carrots
Directions:
1. Prepare two 8″ round cake pans by greasing lightly, and sprinkling with flour
2. Preheat oven to 350 F
3. Mix sugar, applesauce and eggs in LARGE mixing bowl.
4. Add the remaining ingredients to the applesauce mix – EXCEPT for the carrots and the Cream Cheese Frosting. Mix well
5. Stir the grated / shredded carrots into the batter.
6. Use a scoop to evenly spread the batter between the two cake pans. Lightly tap the bottoms of the pans to remove bubbles.
