Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
This recipe is packed with fruits and nuts and a little sprinkle of coconut. It also has a wonderful balance of spice coming from the addition of cinnamon.
It’s a rustic cake that doesn’t need to look perfect (mainly because it tastes SO good!) but also because no one is expecting a frilly, 7-layer masterpiece when they think of carrot cake. For another rustic cake that is totally delicious try my Old-Fashioned Apple Cinnamon Cake Recipe.
It should be easy to assemble, homey and comforting. My kind of cake!
The cake batter can be mixed up in 2 bowls and the frosting is easily whipped up with a hand-mixer (no need to drag out the stand mixer!) for another 2-bowl cake recipe try my Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake Recipe.
