Frequently asked questions:

Can I freeze carrot cake?

Yes! I wouldn't frost the cake until it has been defrosted though. You can make the cake ahead of time and freeze it for up to 6 months.

What if I only want one layer?

No problem! Just half the recipe and you will only have one layer!

What can I use instead of carrots?

If you really dislike or can't eat carrots, you can use shredded parsnips as these have a similar texture and flavor.

Can I add pineapple to this recipe?

You bet! I know a lot of people enjoy pineapple in their carrot cakes and you can feel free to add it to this recipe too!
