Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
This single-layer Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is a quick fix, which is nice for folks who don’t have time to fuss with building a layer cake, and it’s a classic recipe that belongs in every baker’s repertoire. Make it with farmer’s market carrots in the summertime, but its warm cinnamon notes are nice when cooler weather arrives. The carrot flowers are an optional garnish, but they’re simple and fun to make!
