Carrot Cake Casual

Yes, we’re still talking about snacking cakes. [Free Shipping on Orders Over $75 ›]( [logo]( [hero]( An all-day, everyday carrot cake Hellooo bakers! Last week I whispered two irresistible words in your ear: snacking cake. Today I'm adding to that delicious phrase: Spiced Carrot Snacking Cake. [This recipe]( — our latest Bake of the Week — is an example of form dictating function. It's a King Arthur classic that's been on our site in layer cake form for years. But since a layer cake isn't a snacking cake, we made a few tweaks to make it something you'll slice-and-eat from morning to midnight. First, the shape. If you recall our lesson from last week, snacking cakes must be baked in a single layer, and this one is done so in our [tea loaf pan]( (a [9" x 5"]( also works). That one change transformed this cake from something you eat after dinner to something you eat all day long. But that wasn't the only revision we made! A subtle but important change to the frosting was key for snackability. With some [nutmeg]( and a little bit of [cinnamon](, the cream cheese frosting became a spiced cream cheese frosting. The spices offset the sweetness and keep this cake in snack, rather than dessert, territory. Of course, you can and probably will eat it for dessert. And for breakfast. And after lunch. If you make this cake for Easter, it'll be noshed on both before and after the Easter egg hunt. And that's good! That's what snacking cakes are for! But it does means you're going to run out of cake pretty quickly. But guess what? A handful of bonus cupcakes are [built right into this recipe](. So just when you run out of snacking cake, in come cupcakes to save the day.
