Best Carrot Cake Ever!

Guys this is seriously the best CARROT CAKE Ever!!!

I´ve made layered carrot cake and I´ve made carrot cupcakes (with a buttermlk glaze!) and every time I find myself loving it even more. What is it about carrot cake (topped with cream cheese frosting) that we just can´t get enough of?!

This recipe is super simple. You just need one bowl to do all the mixing (except for the cream cheese icing) AND once the cake is baked and cooled there´s no need to remove it from its dish.. You simple PLOP the cream cheese icing right on there and VOILA you have the best carrot cake ever!!! You can also add sultanas or seedless raisins but I like mine without.
