Tasty Tuesday – Carrot Cake

This made from scratch carrot cake recipe is 3 layers of deliciousness that is perfect for any Easter celebration.

Nothing screams EASTER like today’s recipe!

I am in charge of bringing dessert to our family Easter dinner this coming sunday so I wanted it to be something perfect for the occasion.

To me, carrot cake is the perfect dessert!

I’ve only ever made carrot cake from a box mix and so I wanted to try and make one from scratch.  I started searching for recipes on Food Network and found a couple that sounded good.  I also wanted to use a recipe that I didn’t have to go out and get special ingredients for.

This is the cake that I ended up with in the end.

It’s moist and delicious and not too dense.

 I wanted to show you that even with out all the fun decorations, the cake still looks beautiful and perfect for your Easter table.

I wanted to make it a little more fun because of course, there will be kids there.  I found the edible grass and carrots from the Easter section at Target.  My kids loved eating the “celery” off the top.

I guess when little miss eats real celery, she is in for a shock!!!

I’m so looking forward to spending the evening with my family, enjoying good food and good company.

I hope you enjoy this cake as much as we do.

Happy Easter!
