A deliciously simple, easy, moist, homemade spiced carrot cake with cream cheese icing! Hands down the best carrot cake I've ever had, balancing the traditional carrot flavour I grew up with, with a hint of walnut and a good smattering of cream cheese icing. This cake pairs well with a cuppa (tea or coffee - your choice).
