How do you easily shred or grate carrots?

Can you freeze grated carrots for carrot cake?

Yes, you can easily freeze grated, raw carrots for baking. Grating carrots isn't a fun job! It's ideal to grate a lot at once and freeze extra to use later for muffins, cake or loaves at a later date. Freeze grated carrots in freezer bags for up to 3 months and defrost (in a strainer) when ready to use.

Can you make a carrot loaf into a cake?

Yes, you can make these mini carrot cake loaves into one large 8"- 2 layered cake or even into cupcakes if you don't have a mini loaf pan. Watch your bake time as it will vary depending on the size of pans you use.

This is a classic cream cheese icing with a little zest of citrus. It pairs perfectly with Mini Carrot Cake Loaves (it does make a little extra so freeze extra icing for another day).
