My Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Candied Pecans is the perfect way to ring in a winter birthday. A sensible 9” single layer, this cake will feed a small happy group. I’ve cut back the sugar in the three parts of the cake so you don’t end up in a coma after your slice, and you’ll be going back for more! Did I mention it’s gluten-free? Another year, another cake. This cake was … [Read more...]
