Why do I use @whitelily flour in this carrot cake? Why do I use @whitelily flour in this carrot cake? The soft winter wheat has a lower protein content than other all-purpose flours which helps ensure a more delicate and tender cake crumb. #sponsored

You can find the recipe for this Truluck’s-inspired carrot cake with @whitelily flour, candied pecans and brown sugar caramel posted on my last reel! (The cake base is based on the winning recipe from the carrot cake bake off 🎉)

Let me know what other kinds of cake bake offs you’d like to see in the comments!
Carrot cake bake off is now live!! 🎉🎉🎉 th Carrot cake bake off is now live!! 🎉🎉🎉 this was a bake off where I felt weird about the rankings because mix ins were a huge confounding factor and everyone’s preferences were really wildly different and so when you’re looking at the rankings, please remember that they’re all fantastic recipes and I’d happily make them all again except for one!! (Looking at you, currants 😖)

Tap to see all the participating recipes 🥕🥕 and big thanks to @imperial_sugar for sponsoring this bake off!! Their consistent and high-quality pure cane sugar products always help ensure the creamiest of frostings and perfectly sweet cakes.

Let me know what you’re making for Easter! And if carrot cake is on the list, which recipe are you planning to try?!
Huge thanks to the Pappas family for sharing their Huge thanks to the Pappas family for sharing their incredible carrot cake recipe and converting me into a carrot cake fan! This was the only recipe in the carrot cake bake off that wasn’t published somewhere on the internet and with the Pappas’ permission, it’s now live on the blog (link in profile). And yes, the carrot cake bake off post is following close behind 🎉

A few notes:
- this recipe is very similar to the one from Silver Palate in case you’re familiar
- I strongly recommend you make the recipe as is, raisins and pineapple and all (and this is coming from a raisin hater!)
- No, having pineapple in this does not make it a hummingbird cake. Also, the pineapple is crushed so it’s fairly undetectable
- Thanks also to @m_cgraham for being an all-star neighbor and delivering this cake to me 🥕🥕

Also, I’m so curious to know: are you a loaded carrot cake fan (ie. all the nuts/fruit in your carrot cake) or a plain spice cake-esque carrot cake fan?? #carrotcake #carrotcakerecipe #cake
The Lofthouse copycat bake off is now live on the The Lofthouse copycat bake off is now live on the blog!! I am excited to share that we found a recipe that comes very very close to the original (but is, of course, way better in my opinion!)

Link is in my profile/story and let me know which cookie you’re most excited to try! Or if you’re baking something else fun this weekend!

A huge thank you to the sponsor of this bake off, @imperial_sugar!! Their sugar products are just hands down the best—I use them in every single bake off! #sponsored #pancakeprincessbakeoff
