carrot cake

This Paleo Nut Free Carrot Cake is the perfect cake to take to brunch, serve at a wedding or baby shower this spring or bake on a Saturday night for you & your significant other to enjoy (for the next few days)!  Just saying 😉

It’s relatively simple to bake & very tasty!  You could even make little cupcakes.  I topped with Elana’s Pantry’s Cream Cheese Frosting – yum!
