So the carrot cake from Bake Sale bakery?  Best store-bought cake I’ve ever had.  Seriously.  Most store-bought cakes have the same airy, vaguely processed texture that I find somewhat unappealing.  Not this cake; this one is dense, moist, and very close to cake perfection.

It has walnuts interspersed throughout, which add a satisfying textural component as well as a vague nuttiness that complements the cake quite well.

The cream cheese frosting is rich and sweet, but not overly so.  It’s also really well proportioned, giving you a perfect amount of cake and frosting in each bite.

It’s raisin-free, which I found delightful.  Hey raisins: what’s the point of you?  Go home.  No one likes you.

Look, it’s a classic carrot cake.  They’re not reinventing the wheel here.  This isn’t someone’s take on a carrot cake; it is a carrot cake, executed to absolute perfection.
