CAROL'S BABY FOOD CARROT CAKE

The Amish Easy Carrot Cake recipe I shared with you recently was the best ever! The reason I found the recipe was because I knew Friend Carol was going to make a carrot cake for us when we had dinner with them earlier in December and I decided I couldn't wait. 😊 

Her Baby Food Carrot Cake was different but also very delicious! I used to have a recipe for carrot cake that used baby food carrots a long time ago, but haven't seen it in as long. Carol almost always substitutes stevia for sugar in recipes, but this time she said she used the real stuff.
