Easter is almost here and it’s time to spring into action! Get your carrot cake fix in these perfect portable portions, perfect to take to your family gathering.

This carrot cake recipe is from a good friend of mine who I met when we lived in Georgia. I loved it so much I asked her to make it for my first son's baby shower! It makes perfect cupcakes or a fabulous sheet cake.

Layering it into a cupcake jar that my little guys can hold onto is such an adorable new way to present this classic recipe!
