I made the Classic Carrot Cake with Dreamy Creamy Frosting from RHC and I must say it is the BEST carrot cake I have ever tasted. My husband loved it and he is VERY particular about his carrot cake! This is now one of my favorite cakes from RHC.

That’s a beautiful cake you made there, adrie! And it looks like you leveled your cakes before assembling the cake. They look the same thickness and a real nice job with the frosting, both the filling and the outside. I really like the carrots you piped on the top, too. Nice work!

Thank you!! My husband did a great job photographing it!
PS. I actually didn’t level the cakes.. I weighed the batter before baking in the pans and they baked flat and even!

That’s amazing they came out that flat without leveling them. Did you use baking strips around the pan and/or use one of those heat nails? I’ve read that even for smaller cakes using the strips and nails helps achieve an evenly baked and level cake. Anyway, whatever you did it looks great!

Yes, I did use the cake strips! But no nail. I guess they did the job : ) Thanks again!

THe cake looks delicious!!

Your Cake looks great! The layers do look very even and the decorations are fantastic!

Love your carrot cake. An inside picture like this convinces me of putting that on my wish-to-bake list for 2013.

Looks perfect!  Very even and straight layers, nicely done.  I love carrot cake, too, and would love a slice of yours just about now

thanks everyone!! yes, make this cake… it is soooo good! (I just had another slice ; )

Beautiful Cake!!  I, too, love the carrots, and I, too, am amazed your layers came out that flat!!!!  Gotta love it when that happens!!!

looks great! I love how bright the carrots on top are!
