Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

It was our friend’s birthday and we managed to glean the fact that she loved carrot cake (especially with cream cheese frosting), so we gathered around in the middle of a blizzard to make this for her on the last day of spring break (amidst games of Big 2 and shoveling lots of food at me; my taste buds were very happy).

For the record, grating baby carrots by hand with a tiny grater sucks. ;_; The food kept me going though, haha. The recipe was adapted from allrecipes.
