Hornet's Nest Carrot Cake image

This recipe puts a delightful carrot cake spin on a traditional hornet's nest cake, which takes the flavor of the cake and bakes it into the consistency of a brownie or bread pudding. Cut into small, bite-sized squares for a crowd-pleasing party dessert or just grab a fork and dig in straight from the baking dish, I'm not here to judge!

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups milk
1 (4.6 ounce) package cook and serve vanilla pudding mix
2 large carrots, grated
¾ cup raisins, divided
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons ground allspice
1 (15.25 ounce) package carrot cake mix
1 (5 ounce) package glazed pecans, divided
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
½ cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bring milk to a boil in a saucepan, stirring constantly. Pour in pudding mix and remove saucepan from heat. Stir in grated carrots, 1/2 cup raisins, cinnamon, and allspice. Cool mixture until lukewarm, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in carrot cake mix to form a thick batter.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan. Scatter 2 tablespoons raisins and half of the pecans on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

This carrot cake was a disaster! It was dry, crumbly, and the cream cheese frosting was grainy.
