Thoughts 

I used to buy the box carrot cake mix, quick and easy to make, and I loved the way it tasted. But once I looked at the list of unnecessary ingredients, I decided that I have to make this from scratch. I gave it a try and fell in love.

This is delicious, fluffy, soft, and the cream cheese frosting gives it that special touch. It is one of my favorite autumnal recipes to make. My family and I really enjoy it with a warm dink on a chilly day.

I hope you enjoy it too 🙂
