Easter season is upon us, and here at Kitchen House, our minds are wandering toward Easter recipes. Specifically, desserts! Sweet, fluffy, and light, carrot cake is definitely an underrated delicacy. Serve it warm from the oven and drizzle with a glaze or frosting, what a treat!
We have a new take on carrot cake. If you love carrot cake like we do you’re in for a real treat. We’ve married two wonderful recipes; carrot cake and cookies!
