Carrot Cake Sheet Cake

September 11, 2016 By Claira

A heavenly Carrot Sheet Cake that is certain to be a crowdpleaser. It’s a perfectly-spiced, soft cake with a whipped cream cheese frosting.

I recently just guest posted my recipe for a Texas Sheet Cake on Yellow Bliss Road. When I made that cake for a family party, I also made this Carrot Sheet Cake. I wanted variety; I know that most people like chocolate cake, but some people prefer carrot, vanilla, or something just other than chocolate. I usually make this cake in three round pans and make it a tiered cake, but I wanted to do the same concept as the Texas Sheet Cake for the party. I also think that you get more cake to go around.

This recipe comes from my dad. I have tweaked it a little bit by adding fewer spices and using coconut oil instead of canola or vegetable oil. The cake is loaded with carrots, coconut shreds, and pineapple. If you aren’t a fan of pineapple or coconut, you could always omit and add your favorite nuts.  Actually, this cake that was photographed does not have the pineapple shreds in it: I forgot to buy them, and I had to go without them. It still turned out delicious though I did feel that the cake was missing a big flavor component, so I would still suggest adding it.carrot-cake-sheet-cake-6 carrot-cake-sheet-cake-4
