I only recently discovered the wonders of carrot cake...because, let's face it, vegetables for dessert just seems wrong. But this past Christmas Eve I went to a family friend's house for dinner, and she is an amazing cook so I decided to give her carrot cake a shot. I was extremely suprised when it was sweet, but not too sweet and incredibly tasty! Someone else in the office sent me a link to this recipe today and I absolutely can't wait to try it. I know I'm taking a leap of faith on sharing it with you all before I try it out myself, but I'm just so excited about my discovery of carrot cake, and I trust Emma here. She also has a recipe for Red Velvet cake donuts, but you'll have to visit her blog to see that recipe. Let me know if you try it and how it turns out (feel free to email me at hope@417mag.com) - Hope Noble
