One excuse to eat chocolate cakes is to add carrots! My daughters love carrots so everytime I cook something for them, I would always make sure as much as it can possibly done, to add carrots to it. Carrots. I am happy that they can get lots of nutrients from eating the carrots.
I was reading an article last night about carrots and I've realized that eating them has so many benefits. If you are interested in reading this just go to

Anyways, you can bake this yummy cake anytime you want and get adventurous with your toppings. You can even get your little ones to help you with it. Just that I did not ask my girls to help me out or we won't be able to finish decorating because the girls will feast on it.
