I remembered a while back Rosie told me that Carrot cake is her absolute favorite cake to have on her birthday, so I decided to bake one for her last night, and I brought it to work today.

She was completely surprised because we had to hide everything, and she thought we forgot her birthday, the look on her face was priceless.

The cake turned out absolutely delicious, everyone loved it, the combinations of the spices is just amazing; it had delicious, tender and moist crumbs that melts in your mouth kind cake!

Cake is completely sugar free including the frosting.
