HOW TO MAKE ORANGE JUICE CARROT CAKE

I love this recipe because it’s so delicious, it’s so easy to make, and it never fails that everyone asks me for the recipe after brunch.

It’s this simple: in a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, beat the wet ingredients. Slowly add the dry ingredients and beat until the batter is smooth. Stir in the grated carrots. Bake, cool and frost.

Easy peasy.

This cake is not too sweet and has just the right amount of zip from the orange juice. It’s delicious warm OR cold, so it can easily be made the day before brunch.
