What could be more special when honoring a day of birth, than a golden 6 carrot splurge? Well…. possibly a 6 carat one, but the former makes for a much more satisfying & digestible cake… It happens to not be my Birthday, but if it’s yours I wish you a wonderful one! It is someone’s I know, so I’m making a layer…

This looks and sounds so delicious! I’d be interested in seeing your Mom’s original recipe too…
I am confused about the carrots… You list 3 cups at the top, then 2 cups towards the bottom of your ingredients… Is it both? For more moisture?
Thanks again. I’d love to give this a try!
Hi Tiffany, Thank you for visiting the dinnervine, and even more thank you for noticing that duplication! That is what happens if you are distracted baking and typing at the same time:) I thought I had gone back and fixed that when I increased the carrot amount! I have updated the recipe online to be correct now, so please reference updated recipe. Though, more carrots really doesn’t hurt this cake, yet leaves it very moist, but three cups should be plenty! I like to shred/grate mine very thinly in the food processor, as it gives the best possible texture for the cake! I love it frosted and hope you enjoy this too. Thanks again for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
