The Trick to this Carrot Cake
The trick to this recipe is making sure that the cake bakes all the way through. There are a lot of wet ingredients in this recipe that need to bake up. Make sure that the cake doesn’t jiggle or appear too soft when you take it out of the oven. Test the center with a toothpick and be sure it comes out clean!
