Simple Grain-Free Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Simple Grain-Free Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting | kumquatblog.com @kumquatblog recipe

undoubtedly, one of my favorite, favorite things about summer is the ease of getting together with family and friends.

the only thing sweeter than spending time with people we love and running around the great outdoors in the sunshine is having something delicious, sweet, and easy to serve. (that’s gluten- or grain-free, of course.)

this classic hits all those marks… a simple grain-free carrot cake with cream cheese frosting kind of makes my heart sing a little bit.

this classic & simple #grainfree carrot cake w/ cream cheese frosting is a sure win for the summer! Click To Tweet
