Where are my carrot cake lovers? I never cared for this dessert until my 30’s. It’s cRaZy because carrot cake is presently one of my top 5 favorites 😄💃 A scrumptious dessert with fantastic flavors 🍂 Patti Labelle’s heavenly carrot cake is just that….heavenly!! A popular request among colleagues, friends & family. I’ve made her cake into cupcakes and 3 layers. I filled three 6 inch cake pans. Please remember to lightly butter and flour each pan : ) Fall is approaching— this cake-a-licious dessert is perfect for gatherings & holidays. I piped decorative carrots on the top {optional} 🥕 I hope you have an awesome weekend! Stay safe, Shine bright and thank you for following 🧡💫 #carrotcakelove Recipe by Patti LaBelle

I purchased one of Patti Labelle's cookbooks years ago! Her bread pudding, macaroni & cheese and carrot cake recipes a few of my favorites. As I always give credit to the recipe developer, I was unable to find her official site listing the ingredients & instructions. I chose not to attach a link with an adapted recipe simply because I love Patti's Heavenly Carrot Cake so much!
