Baked Sunday Mornings: Classic Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
When I saw that this recipe for Classic Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting (from the Cinnamon chapter of Baked Elements) was coming up, I got really excited– it’s been a while since we’ve made a complicated cake!
