This is our favorite carrot cake recipe with a classic cream cheese frosting. The carrot cake itself is super moist, not too sweet, flavorful, and incredibly easy to make. It's almost a one bowl recipe! Our recipe can make either a 3 layer 6 inch cake or a 2 layer 8 inch cake, which is perfect for all occasions, including Easter! For an even smaller version, try our lunch box carrot cake, which are super cute and is lighter in texture and also paired with a lighter cream cheese frosting.
