I have never had any problems with this recipe being dry. In fact, it stays moist even days later. It doesn’t matter if you use it to make a cake or cupcakes. Both are really moist.

Must give this one a try. I’ve found the driest carrot cake tends to have coconut in the recipe, but this one sounds fab x

I just whipped up this cream cheese frosting recipe, for my red velvet cake. I paired it with salted caramel and it was so delicious. Thank you Toni! It also stayed fairly stable and I think this is down to the butter and not adding whipped cream. Yum 😉
