The most casual-cool carrot cake of all time. A few notes on this recipe's star ingredient. We don’t generally endorse the use of horse carrots (a.k.a. those giant ones that are often sold individually at the supermarket) because they lack sweetness, but also grating a bunch of slender young carrots can be kind of a pain. Seek out something in the middle—healthy-looking, medium-sized carrots—which should deliver the right balance of flavor and convenience.
