Cake for breakfast? I know what your thinking, “that doesn’t sound like a good start to the day!” It normally isn’t , but this recipe is an exception.
Unlike most breakfast cakes and pastries, this breakfast cake is made with all natural ingredients that contain beneficial nutrients to fuel your body. This will energize you while making your taste buds pretty happy.
Besides carrot cake is delicious for dessert, but even better for breakfast in my opinion

Cake is always acceptable in our house for breakfast, I’m a big fan of “dessert” for breakfast!
