Classic Carrot Cake

In addition to banana pudding, I also made some carrot cake this past weekend for my friend Carolyn's birthday. Yes, it was a double birthday weekend with double birthday desserts! Though I've made carrot cake for Carolyn the past few years, until now I haven't really had a go-to recipe. I think this one, from America's Test Kitchen, is the quintessential carrot cake. The cream cheese frosting is fantastic as well.

Any fruit or vegetable-based cake is great for beginners or people who are for whatever reason intimidated by the idea of making a cake from scratch. The shredded carrot supplies a lot of moisture, so its basically impossible to end up with a dry cake.
