This cake is amazing, is one of the most common cakes here in Brazil and it’s different from the American and European carrot cake recipes. It’s soft, smells great, the chocolate frosting combines perfectly and the orange color of the cake it’s beautiful. I love this cake, it’s delicious and one of my favorites. I think this is the best recipe that I ever ate, but I made only half of the recipe, so next time I’ll make the whole recipe , because it was too little for my sister and I, we ate everything in one bite. Delicious !!!
