Carrot Cake Tea Cake recipe from the recipe files of Rabbit Hill Inn
Our Rabbit Hill Inn Tea Time Carrot Cake recipe is requested so often.
This irresistible carrot cake disappears from our afternoon tea table in a blink. The fun part is that you can change it up often – use your favorite cream cheese frosting or a simple buttercream. Add nuts, raisins, anything you wish. Chef Phyllis bakes this cake in a sheet pan, cuts it into small squares, then if needed, she’ll freeze it after cutting.
