Easy Carrot Sheet Cake Recipe from Scratch

This is THE BEST, easy Carrot Sheet Cake recipe from scratch! Perfectly moist? Delicate crumb? Sweet, carrot flavor? Ultra-creamy and smooth cream cheese frosting? Crunchy, candied pecans? Yes, yes, and YES to all of that!

This is my favorite recipe for carrot cake. It is 100% made from scratch, ridiculously easy to make, incredibly versatile, and utterly delicious. AND…it might be the OLDEST recipe in my personal recipe book.

My copy of this recipe came out of an old, long-forgotten church cookbook and is still on a faded-to-yellow scrap of paper in my dads handwriting…from when I was eleven! It has been requested and made dozens of time, has a perfected cream cheese frosting, and an easy candied pecan that adds a toasty, sweet crunch.

Guinness Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Irish Cream Cream Cheese Frosting

Inspired by the Irish, this should NOT be a once a year treat! Insanely moist, these Guinness infused Dark-Chocolate Cupcakes are topped with a luscious Irish Cream, Cream Cheese Frosting.

This incredibly easy, but totally scratch-made cake is inspired by one of my favorites. Hershey’s used to have a Black Magic Cake on the back of their can and it’s been proven over and over as a classic for a reason. The buttermilk and Guinness make this cake so moist and so full of flavor, that this cake is guaranteed to be the one everyone wants the recipe for. Don’t get me wrong, the Irish Cream in the cream cheese frosting, kind of like in my Irish Cream Bread Pudding, doesn’t hurt either!

While I adore a succulent nibble of lobster, shrimp is much more available and economical on an everyday basis. And frankly, who wouldn’t love shrimp that is perfectly pan seared in buttery garlic and liberally swirled thoughout a scratch made cheese sauce that is the perfect compilation of sharp cheddar and creamy gruyere?
