Simply Carrot Cake and Cream Cheese Frosting

Michelle on 1.16.2011

I made this for my fiance’s birthday. He’s a huge fan of carrot cake and therefore a tough critic. He told me it was “the best carrot cake he’s even eaten”! This was also the first recipe I ever made in my new KitchenAid stand mixer and the frosting turned out AMAZING in it. I added crushed pecans on the sides by way of decoration, but not getting unpleasant surprise burnt pecan bits in the cake itself was a relief! Thanks so much for this recipe, I need to find another reason to make it!
