Simple carrot cake

A simple carrot cake that will conquer you immediately. Because it is very simple to prepare. Because it is healthy. Because it is so fluffy.

This is one of those recipes I read and immediately go to the kitchen to prepare it. I had all ingredients at home and we ate it right after dinner.

I saw this simple carrot cake recipe on the great Giulia Scarpaleggia’s blog (Juls Kitchen).

It is different from the strong yellow Brazilian carrot cakes with dark chocolate topping, and from the darker American ones, with butter or cream cheese frosting, both very rich. This one is a simple, homemade cake you can eat anytime during the day.

Try it! You will love it, I am sure.
