The recipe for this carrot cake was actually given to us by our gym instructor. It is a really easy recipe and the cakes comes out beautifully soft and moist. For lazy people who hates washing up, there is only 1 bowl to clean and wash.
I like baking it as mini cupcakes as it cuts the baking time by more than half and is easier to freeze and defrost for morning tea.
