Granny’s Classic Carrot Cake – Moist, Fragrant, and Timeless
In honor of Grandparents Day, here’s a recipe straight from the heart — Granny’s Carrot Cake. This is the only carrot cake worth making in our family, passed down with love and memories baked into every slice. It’s beautifully moist from the first bite, delicately spiced, and full of flavor from freshly grated carrots and toasted pecans. It needs no frosting, though it somehow tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen. It’s the kind of cake that brings warmth to any table and comfort with every bite.
