Best Original Carrot Cake Recipe

Once you try it you'll know why it is the best original carrot cake recipe there is!

I love carrot cake so much that last year my neighbor used this recipe to make me a small square birthday cake.

That was such a thoughtful birthday cake idea, that it really got me to thinking about birthday cakes.

Do you ever get so caught up in thinking that the birthday cake has to be fancy and spectacular that you forget to just enjoy deliciousness of a simple cake?

Really, birthdays should be about enjoying time with friends and family and a small birthday cake like a this cake (using my grandma's best original carrot cake recipe) is the perfect way to do that.

It’s a really great holiday cake to make, too. You know those little carrot looking candies that come out around Easter? Those are really cute to use for a holiday cake decoration.

The kids think its funny and practically forget that they’re eating a cake made from a vegetable. Some kids leave cookies out for Santa; mine like to leave carrot cake out for the Easter bunny.
