Lunch Box Ideas: Carrot Cake Recipe

I have tried this carrot cake recipe so so many times, and every time it has come out to be perfect! This carrot cake recipe is very easy, though it takes time to bake. This carrot cake is immensely loved by my kids. Its one of the healthiest snacks around during winters, especially when carrots are long and red and juicy. I often make it in my kitchen, fill up an air tight box and keep it aside for putting in my kids lunch boxes.
