This recipe is similar to mine but I add vanilla....my favorite cake!


This sounds so good! Can I use regular flour but just use less?


I've never done it but I don't see why you can't. You would have to ask someone else the substitution ratios.... Maybe EAKE on AR and I think she is on here from time to time could help. She is a professional baker and answers lots of people's questions... Let me know how it turns out...


Very similar to my MIL's recipe, only better. Was very, very good and hubby liked it too!
Hope you like the photo!


Glad you liked it. We love it!


This was extremely good! I only had enough carrots for 2 1/2 cups and it was still perfect! I made them into cupcakes for the kids. This recipe made 18 cupcakes. I baked them at 350* for 20 minutes. I didn't use the cream cheese frosting because I wanted to cut down on the fat, so I used a cream cheese glaze recipe instead. This is something I'll be making often! Great recipe!


Very nice...i love it..

Also...I didn't have cake flour, so I just use 1 3/4 cups regular flour (unsifted). It worked perfectly! The cupcakes were light, fluffy and moist!
