Carrot cake. You either love it or hate it, right?
I happen to love it but only if it doesn’t have nuts. Or raisins. Nothing against nut and raisins – I like them, just not in my cake.
Actually, if I’m gonna be honest, the main reason I like carrot cake is it’s marvelous ability to be the base for massive amounts of cream cheese frosting. Can I get an “Amen“??
However, I recently discovered that it can be amazingly delicious without all that frosting! (I still made a cream cheese glaze though – I’m not an animal!)  With the addition of coconut and a healthy dose of chocolate chips, this carrot cake rocks! Even if you think you don’t like carrot cake, I bet this recipe could change your mind. It is moist, fluffy, and full of goodness!

    I will definitely have to keep this recipe. Carrot cake is my husband’s fave but wow, does it have a lot of calories. These minis would be perfect. Thanks for sharing this week at BeColorful
