Orange Glaze
- Mix the ingredients and pour over the carrot cake evenly.
Notas
- I like non-stick baking pans, but if you are using regular pans, grease them thoroughly with butter or oil before adding the cake batter.
- Grate your carrots at home, do not use storebought grated carrots.
- Add your favorite add-ins: raisins, walnuts, or pineapple chunks.
- If your glaze is very thick add a teaspoon more of orange juice. Microwave for 20 seconds to soften it up.
