I have to be honest with you all. I do not like carrot cake!!! Traditional carrot cake with raisins and nuts and enough carrots to turn me into a rabbit just doesn't do it for me.
So when a friend asked me to make a carrot cake for his wife's birthday I knew I needed to come up with a recipe that would satisfy carrot cake lovers but wouldn't hurt my soul to share. I'm happy to announce that this beauty IS IT and she's LIT.
Spiced cake layers come together with chunks of crystallizes ginger and just enough carrot to bring that moist, lightly sweet flavor that is reminiscent of carrots into the cake. She's nut-less and raisin-less but I really don't think you'll miss those elements once you try her.
This beauty is filled with a cream cheese filling, wrapped in vanilla swiss meringue buttercream, and topped with big chunks of crystallizes ginger and a smattering of salted caramel crispearls.
Color is a blend of rosewood and orange master elites.
