Carrot Cake Poke Cake Recipe
I love a nice slice of traditional carrot cake and will grab it for dessert if we are out for dinner somewhere (which doesn’t happen very often). For some reason it’s not something I bake on a regular basis. I don’t know why. Instead, when I really have to have some carrot cake, I started making this fun poke cake version instead. It’s yummy and goes together quickly. It also makes for a great birthday cake.
