Simple Carrot Cake

"This scrumptious carrot cake—JoJo's Carrot Cake as we like to call it—is my mother's recipe! It's moist, flavorful, and effortless to whip up. It can also be made nut and dairy-free. It's made with simple ingredients, many of which you may already have on hand and the result is quite literally the best carrot cake you'll ever try. It's a staple in our household and we enjoy it for just about every celebration. Heck, even if we're not celebrating anything, it's the first dessert we gravitate to! Often times, I'll double the batch and freeze one cake for when we need it next. "
