Carrot Sheet Cake Recipe

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Mix together the dry ingredients and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and brown sugar with the fat (vegetable oil).

Crack eggs into a separate bowl and mix them lightly before adding to the sugar mixture.

Add vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until combined.

Be careful not to over mix after adding the eggs.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined to avoid a tough cake.

Fold in grated carrots and chopped pecans (or other nuts if desired), mixing just until combined.

Pour the thicker batter into a lined and sprayed sheet pan, spreading it across the pan.

Bake the cake, noting that it will bake faster than a normal cake, and be careful not to overbake.

Let the cake cool before preparing the icing.

Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy for the icing.

Dot the icing onto the cooled cake to make spreading easier, then spread it out evenly.

Top the cake with additional chopped pecans if desired.
