Carrot Cake

Not only is this the best carrot cake recipe out there, it is also healthy with 4 full cups of grated carrots!! This is a nut free recipe. This cake is extremely moist and will stay great for even a few days. And the frosting is definitely my favorite part. So go ahead try it out, you wont be disappointed!

notes: this is truly the best carrot cake I have ever tasted, I'm so glad my friend was willing to give me this recipe. Alternatives for the glaze: you may use oil instead of margarine. For a non-dairy glaze you may replace the milk for creamer, and use tofu cream cheese. Add more or less sugar to create a thicker or thinner glaze.
