I have always been a fan of carrot cake. But when I was a child, I admit I kinda not like it so much but one bite into this awesome cake, I’m immediately hooked! This cake is so amazing, I am drawn to make it again and again. Now, that I am a mom and always struggles to let my kids eat healthily, I found this cake as one way to compensate. And they love it so much, I can’t complain. This is an easy sweet and healthy fix. A super moist and gorgeously delicious cake!

How to make Carrot Cake

Step 6: Stir in the wet mixture into the dry mixture until fully absorbed.
Step 7: After the mixture is fully combined, stir in the carrot mixture and walnuts.
Step 8: Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared pans.
Step 9: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
