Corrie's Triple Layer Carrot Cake

Corrie's triple layer carrot cake consists of three smooth, moist carrot cake layers frosted with rich cream cheese frosting are simple to make!

Corrie's Triple Layer Carrot Cake sliced on a plate.

I have been wanting to post this recipe for quite some time.  I have hesitated due to one of the ingredients (I'll give further explanation on this in my post).  After much deliberation, I decided it was time.  I usually make this specific cake every August for my cousin Corrie's birthday.

  • Corrie's Triple Layer Carrot Cake

She is the sister that I never had. ย We've been partners in crime for as long as I can remember, and it should scare others how much we think alike. ย Mushy stuff aside...Corrie's triple-layer carrot cake is seriously the best carrot cake. ย It is a smooth cake and doesn't have chunks of stuff throughout it. ย Sorry, I like my cake "thing" free. ย If you are feeling adventurous, this is definitely one you're going to want to try!

Sugar being added to the eggs.

This cake is really quite simple.  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray your cake pans with non-stick baking spray.  Beat the eggs, sugar, and oil together.

Cinnamon and other spices added to the eggs and sugar.

Beat in the ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. ย Mix well, and then add the flour.

Baby carrots being added.

Now for the controversial ingredient!  What I like about this cake is that there is not any shredded anything in it.  This recipe uses pureed carrots in it.  The easiest way to get pureed carrots is just to use baby food.  So many people scream, "EWWWW! Baby food!"  

But seriously, it is just cooked and pureed carrots, and I really don't get what the big deal is. ย I went back and forth for a while, debating whether I should figure out how many steamed carrots I would need to make the right amount of puree. ย 

But then I thought, why? ย I don't want to spend the time steaming and pureing carrots every time I ย make this cake. ย The beauty of this cake is that it is simple and quick. ย Even if I put in the time to figure it out, I would probably never make it that way again. ย So, yes, I am using baby food. ย Pour it in and mix just until it is combined.

Batter poured into the prepared cake pans.

Divide the batter up among three 9-inch cake pans. ย It is between 2 ยฝ cups and 3 cups of batter per pan. ย Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. ย The cakes should be lightly browned, and a toothpick should come out clean. ย Cool completely and remove from the cake pans.

Once the cakes are cooled, prepare the cream cheese frosting and frost and assemble the cake.  I find it a little easier to chill the cake layers for 20 minutes before frosting and assembling.  Store the finished cake in the fridge.  This is easiest to cut after being well chilled.
