Elevate your carrot cake with fresh carrots and a delicious salted caramel twist for a next-level dessert experience!
Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups finely shredded peeled carrots (5 medium)
  • 3/4 cup Smucker's® Simple Delight™ Salted Caramel Topping
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Smucker's® Simple Delight™ Salted Caramel Topping
  • Coarse sea salt, if desired
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously spray a 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the cake mix, water, oil, eggs, cinnamon, and nutmeg for 2 minutes on medium speed. Remember to scrape the bowl occasionally. Add in the carrots and then pour the mixture into the pan.
  • Bake for 26 to 33 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. While it's still warm, use a fork to poke holes over the top of the cake, wiping the fork tines occasionally with a paper towel to prevent sticking.
  • While the cake is still warm, generously pour and delicately spread 3/4 cup of caramel sauce over the cake, moving side to side to ensure even coverage. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to assist the caramel sauce in seeping into the cake. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Slowly mix in vanilla and powdered sugar until frosting is creamy. Spoon frosting over cake, spread evenly, and drizzle caramel sauce on top.
  • Cut the cake into bite-sized pieces. Optionally, add a sprinkle of sea salt for a delightful burst of flavor. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers for later enjoyment.
