My favorite carrot cake has effectively changed as of tonight. I was a die hard Truluck's carrot cake fan but Carpenter's Hall took the cake tonight (pun intended). Great cake.

Have you tried the carrot cake cupcake at Capitol City Bakery? Yes it’s vegan. Yes, it’s the best I’ve ever had.

Looks amazing!
We really like the one from Vinaigrette also. The best one we’ve tried in Austin (so far).

Check out the carrot cake at Kelly’s Irish Pub. They make it in house, I’d pick that one for the best in town if someone asked me. 😄

I once found an amazing carrot cake recipe, and made that cake every Sunday for like, six months. Gained so much weight because my kids don’t like carrot cake. Lol

“Hey, can we improve the flavor of the cake?” “Just add more frosting layers, the rubes think more sugar = more flavor. Just like cheese in Tex-Mex. Idiots won’t know what happened!”

Saving this post! I took my carrot cake-obsessed fiancée to Truluck’s a few months ago and she declared it the best she’s ever had. I’m happy to have found a contender!
