Carrot Cake with Brown Butter Frosting

A Family Classic + A Twist

When I got married, my husband’s sweet great aunt gave me her beloved carrot cake recipe. I made this recipe to honor the traditional family recipe I was gifted while giving it my own creative spin.

• 2 cups flour

• 1 ½ tsp cinnamon

• ½ tsp all spice

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp nutmeg

• Mix sugars, eggs, and oil. Sift dry ingredients together and add to sugar mixture.

• Then add 3 cups grated carrots

Brown Butter Frosting
