Test Kitchen Notes
WHO: Hollyshaner is from Florida and a food blogger at cinnamonslices.blogspot.com.
WHAT: A carrot cake with a ton of personality.
HOW: Mix up your cakes, whip up your icing, layer, and slash.
WHY WE LOVE IT: Some carrot cakes seem promising — however are dry, crumbly, and tasteless. That is no longer no doubt this sort of carrot cakes. The yogurt and carrots give the cake moisture, and the hint of cardamom makes it shine. We ended up adding the sugar in the frosting to model; while you salvage your frosting on the no longer-so-sweet aspect, it is best to mild carry out the identical. —The Editors
