Tasty Moist Carrot Cake.

Make this carrot cake instead of all the sweat baking that is normally baked. Its delishes.

This Carrot cake is so delicious and I used some coconut sugar as well as a 1-1 ratio of flour mix and cinnamon. As we try make it more diabetic friendly.

Baking. See Ingredients and recipe to do that.

There is some optional ingredients, such as pecans but I prefer not to add them, which is my preference.

Leave in the baking pans till totally cool.

Once cool take out of the pans, leave to cool further. Carrot cake may break if handled to early.

Frosting.

Frosting the cake with cream cheese frosting according to the recipe. If its a warm day you may need to keep the frosting in the fridge. As it is made of cream cheese and butter, which melts easily. Especially if you use normal cream cheese and not full cream cheese.

Once frosted you may need to keep the cake in the fridge as well.

The carrot cake was decorated with a cinnamon pattern.

Then cut and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.
