Carrot Cake Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

March 20, 2015   |   3 Comments

Just in time for Easter, we have a deliciously rich Carrot Cake Bars recipe to share with you. My Dad’s favorite cake is Carrot Cake, so I remember my Mom making it for him once a year. It was always one of my favorite’s too and feels like the perfect Easter dessert.

I decided to make more of a bar version but don’t worry, they taste just like the cake I remember.  Check out the recipe below and don’t miss the extra thick layer of frosting we put on, yum!
