Carrot Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, is a great recipe that you are able to share. I made this and took some to my neighbors. After I put it on the plates and then I covered the cake with plastic wrap.

I washed my hands very well and then I took it to my neighbors. After that, I sent them a text letting them know that I was thinking of them and that I will be so happy when I can visit with them face to face in the same room.

Tips For Carrot Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting:

 

• Use walnuts in place of pecans.
• You can add a cup of raisins; don’t tell my husband, I didn’t add them this time. I wasn’t sure if my neighbor likes them or not!
• Then for fun, I added peanut butter chips.
• Another thing that I wanted to tell you is that the original recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups oil; I like to make it a little healthier and so I replace 1/2 of it with applesauce.
