I love this easy carrot cake, I use 1 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour and only use 1 1/2 cup of sugar .

I tried this with all-purpose flour and it was like the other lady said clumps of batter instead of smooth I ended up throwing it out and using a different recipe.

Very nice, very simple. Yes, the batter might seem dry at first because the carrots will add so much moisture. If it's dry, try adding a little more carrot or grating it finer, and definitely use an electric mixer for this one. I made mini cupcakes & will bake them at 350° next time. This is my new go-to recipe for carrot cake!
