CARROT CAKE SHEET CAKE: SMOOTH, MOIST & RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS

We have tried many carrot cakes and we think we have found our favorite. This cake is great for parties as it can serve a lot. Many versions include pineapple and coconut. We have a simpler version, which is equally delicious and can be modified to your liking. This spiced carrot cake has carrots, raisins, and pecans. Cream cheese frosting is a must!

This carrot cake recipe is easy to make and tastes amazing. The sweet, moist cake is made with lots of grated carrots, coconut milk, and fresh ginger. The whole wheat flour adds a nice nutty flavor and the whole thing comes together to create the perfect festive dessert.
