DOUBLESTAR Signature Carrot Cake

Eating Carrot Cake
Water is wet. Sky is blue. We eat carrot cake. Some things are just the way they are. This carrot cake has been refined over the years, and since I don’t usually measure, it’s slightly different every time. But that adds to the fun! Most recently, it was Captain’s requested cake for his birthday, and it was gone within a day or two.
The ratio of frosting to cake is very important, and the toppings can vary from nuts to coconut to whatever you fancy. Enjoy!
