THE BEST CARROT CAKE
The BEST Carrot Cake EVER! This cake is super moist and the cream cheese frosting is to-die-for! I don't even like carrot cake and I ate a HUGE slice of this cake! The secret ingredient in this cake is baby food. I know it sounds weird but it adds so much moisture and you don't have any chunks of carrots in the cake. Flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, eggs, oil, baby food, cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar. Can make the cake up to a week in advance. This is PERFECT for the holidays!

MUM'S BABY FOOD CARROT CAKE
I didn't discover Cream Cheese Frosting until I was an adult and Mum and I made our first carrot cake. She came up with a recipe using baby food because there was a ready supply when my son was eating them. Simply the most moist carrot cake I've ever eaten.
