Me and Chris love carrot cake, it's probably one of our favourites, but despite all our baking we'd never made some.
So one day when we were walking round Sainsburys doing our weekly shop, we decided to go for it and try out a carrot cake! It turned out so well that I thought I'd share the recipe with you! If you have any amazing recipes, leave me a link below, I'd love to see your creations!
