Carrot Easter Nest Cake

Ever heard of carrot cake frosted with dark chocolate butter cream? The idea popped into my head the last minute I was prepping for the big Easter brunch. Carrot cake was on the menu. I wanted to create Easter treats without jeopardizing what has been planned. I decided to turn carrot cake into an Easter nest.

Carrot Cake At Christmas

We looked beyond the traditional Christmas cake this year as we got tired of the same Christmas treats we have had for the last two years. My manager wanted something simple but delicious, a cake that is moist and flavorful. She asked for a carrot cake as a replacement. Her decision did not disappoint. It was a crowd-pleasing dessert everyone loved at the event.

Cream Cheese-Mascarpone Frosting Works Well With Carrot Cake

Carrot cake is one of the newest additions to the Sunday brunch dessert menu.  It has become a favorite of many since its debut. This is not a new recipe. It's the exact same recipe I have been using for so long but without the classic cream cheese frosting. I experimented using joyofbaking's red velvet frosting which consists of cream cheese and mascarpone cheese to frost and fill the cake. The result was  unbelievably amazing!
