This carrot cake is a great way to use up leftover carrots. I always have a few carrots left over after making dinner and this is a great way to use them up.

I've never been a big fan of carrot cake, but this recipe changed my mind. The cake is so moist and flavorful, and the frosting is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I'll definitely be making this again.

This carrot cake was a delight! The orange frosting was the perfect complement to the moist and flavorful cake. I'm not gluten-free, but I couldn't tell the difference. It was so good that I ate two pieces in one sitting. Highly recommend!
