‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Carrot Cake’ Recipes + A Few Homemade Carrot Cakes

March 20, 2015 by TheBestDessertRecipes 4 Comments

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not usually a huge fan of traditional carrot cake recipes. I like carrot cake fine, but it’s not my favorite kind of cake. If given the choice, I honestly usually reach for some chocolate cake or even funfetti. To me, carrot cake is a once a year-type dessert. It’s an Easter cake. (That being said, it is the best Easter cake there is.)

Two years ago, I was oblivious to just how many carrot cake recipes there were in the world. Not only that, though, but I was also totally oblivious to the fact that carrot cake doesn’t have to come in cake form anymore. Homemade carrot cake can come in the form of dessert bars, fudge, doughnuts, and so much more. Needless to say, that’s when I started getting on the carrot cake bandwagon.

I can’t believe I never thought of making carrot cake into different sorts of treats, but now that’s the only thing I think about when I think of the classic Easter treat. Cake is fine, but these “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Carrot Cake” recipes are divine. The best part is that the majority of these are recipes with cake mix, which means that they’re beyond easy to make. One glance at these and you’ll probably end up like me, making them all year long instead of just as spring desserts.

Now, how could I write a post about easy “carrot cake” recipes without including a few homemade carrot cakes? That would be bizarre, wouldn’t it? Below are a few classic, mother-approved recipes, including a moist carrot cake recipe with pineapple! Yum!

    Carrot cake’s a birthday favorite in my house, but I never thought of it as an Easter cake! These recipes look like a great way to capture carrot cake flavor without the birthday-esque quality of an actual cake. Looks like another great excuse to make one of my favorite desserts!

    I recently found out I’m gluten intolerant, so I had to give up carrot cake. Does anyone know any GF carrot cake recipes?

    Carrot cake is a rare treat in my household because my mom only makes it for my dad’s birthday, but this opened my eyes to a whole new world! I had no idea there were so many things to make “carrot cake” out of. I am definitely looking into some of these recipes, especially with Easter coming up, because they’re so new to me. I can’t wait to get to baking now. The fudge one sounds particularly tasty.
