Healthier Carrot Cake

20200509_153815-1

Good day guys! I am finally sharing with you my ultimate Healthier Carrot Cake recipe! It is so moist and tender and super delicious I promise!

This recipe calls for brown sugar which I don’t always have. So I always make my own using regular white sugar (or unrefined cane sugar in my case here) and some molasses. Today it was grape molasses and I loved it! I will incorporate it more in my recipes. You can use any molasses you have. Just mix 1 cup white sugar with 1 tbsp molasses et voilà!

Look at how moist this carrot cake is! My family fell in love with it and I am planning on making it more often! I also added some walnuts and dried raisins for some crunch and different texture. The result is amazing! Tell me what do you like to add to your carrot cake?
