Carrot Carrot Yum Cake

4 out of 5

I made this in the morning for breakfast and it turned out great (I should note that I didn't use the measurements listed, instead I guesstimated to make a much smaller portion).This satisfied my craving for carrot cake! I added half the raisins when I put the mixture in the food processor and didn't process until totally smooth- just until it came together. Yummy, I'll make it again in the future.

So, you don't dehydrate this? Do you store it in the refrigerator?

Hi Koolieaided! This looks really good. I don't have a juicer and was wondering if I could make carrot cake without using just pulp in other recipes I've seen. I like the addition of the orange in the frosting. Thanks for sharing this!
