Fall Maple Carrot Cake

Fall Maple Carrot Cake

fall-cake-title-in-white

Hi everyone! I’m sharing this fall maple carrot cake I made this week and I’m hoping you’ll try it out…and like it! Fall and winter are the times of the year when I enjoy baking. There’s something really comforting about having baked goods come out of the oven made from farm fresh produce as the temperature drops and the weather turns chillier. Not to mention the heavenly aroma that fills the house!

This is a delicious maple carrot cake with a maple cinnamon cream cheese frosting. I decided to make it a naked cake due to the ease of decorating it. I love naked cakes, they’re rustic and pretty at the same time and if you’re not the greatest at doing a pretty frosting job this is an easy and no-brainer way to do it. Even if you mess it up, it still looks good! I used some of the white mums from my front porch to decorate it up a bit. So easy!

If you’re noticing a large chunk missing from the cake,  that’s because  I  we couldn’t wait to try it!
