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?

  • 1 1/2 Cups Sugar
  • 1 Cup Apple Sauce
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 14 tsp. Ground Nutmeg
