How to bake a CARROT CAKE with Leila!

Carrot cake is one of my favorites! And on a not sunny sunday after-noon nothing beats baking a cake to put a smile on your loved one's face.
This recipe can also be used to bake carrot muffins but I so wanted to use my heart shaped LE CREUSET dish that I chose to bake the cake version.So here it is >

First > Ingredients :

put them in a separate bowl with


the melted butter and stir. Leave on the side.


Grate the carrots!
