Out of this World Carrot Cake Recipe with Callie’s Cream Cheese Frosting

No joke, this Carrot Cake Recipe is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Seriously, so delicious. It’s a must for your Easter Menu this year or for breakfast tomorrow or for lunch tomorrow or for…..well, you get the picture…just make it soon.

My friend Callie made a delicious Carrot Cake for Christmas Dinner this year. It was full of all kinds of good things like coconut, walnuts, pineapple, carrots and raisins.

I had never had a carrot cake quite like it and couldn’t stop thinking about it over the following weeks…okay, months……When I eat something delicious  I just can’t get it out my head. (don’t get me started about the chocolate rice crispy I had 16 years ago at Disney World)

I messaged Callie to get the recipe, which she is going to send me, but in the meantime I was invited to dinner somewhere and wanted to make a carrot cake. I already knew how to make Callie’s Awesome Cream Cheese Frosting, but I didn’t have the recipe for the cake yet.

I improvised by searching the web for recipes that looked similar and then made some minor adjustments. The results are pretty darn fantastic. I found this recipe: Sam’s Famous Carrot Cake, and used it as a starting point.

This carrot cake is fantastic, and just wait until you taste the frosting….this ain’t your mama’s cream cheese frosting….

• ½ cup oil
• 3 eggs
• ¾ cup sour milk, put 1 tsp lemon juice in a your measuring cup and then fill to ¾ cup with milk, let sit for 3-5 minutes
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups flour, I did one cup whole wheat one cup all purpose
• 2½ tsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salts

• 1 cup raisins (optional) (I do not add raisins)

2. In your mixer or with a hand mixer, combine sugar, oil, eggs and milk. Mix well.
3. Add vanilla and mix until combined
4. Add flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt and mix until combined.
