Just when you thought carrot cake may take too much effort to make, you found this recipe.

What’s better than chocolate cake? Carrot cake. Okay, maybe that isn’t a vote casted in fairness, but we bet many of you can agree carrot cake is yummy.

However, the traditional recipe which includes chopping up fresh carrots, can seem a bit intimidating.

Be reassured: it is not.

Today we bring to you an easy carrot cake that will take under an hour to make and under 2 minutes to eat in its entirety. (We’re only partially kidding about the latter…). 

So, what’s the deal with this recipe aside from it being tasty, you wonder? It’s healthier than some other ones online thanks to us substituting things out like coconut oil in place of vegetable oil, and adding in some wellness-approved spices like turmeric. It’s also simple, which is always a perk for anyone who is time starved. 

We’ll stop ranting and raving about this ultra moist, mighty delicious cake, and cut to the chase already.
