Want to save this for later? PIN here.
I am in love with any cream cheese covered bake good, and this easy carrot cake loaf just happens to be an absolute favorite of mine. Also, now that I have two toddlers, anything that I can slice up, call cake, and shove a vegetable in undetected is even better!
I love to mess around with adding different veggies or fruits to change up my “carrot cake” loaf, you can easily make this into muffins to eat some now and freeze the rest for those days you just need cake and have no willpower to make it! I prefer loaves because well.. the loaf pan is SO EASY TO CLEAN.
