Grandma Leavens Carrot Cake

9/19/2021

Almost every birthday growing up included this delicious recipe with cream cheese frosting. Even a very discerning friend in South Carolina, who was an exceptional cook, thought this cake was amazing. I have this recipe printed in a church cook book my mom was in charge of making many years ago that is falling apart. I'm printing this here so that I don't loose it, and so that my family has easy access to it.

I'm big batch, low carb and gluten free cooking mama by necessity, who loves to cook when inspiration strikes, and gets anxiety about the thought of having to cook every night.

I love discovering new "happy taste and tummy" recipes from around the world.

Following a recipe is next to impossible for me, but I love to use them for inspiration.

I'll do my best to get down what I use to make these recipes, but please understand that I am not anything close to a precise cook. I'm more a dump and taste than a measure type person.

I freeze loads of single servings, from my big batches, for those nights when I just don't have the time or energy to face the kitchen.
