Does anyone have a favorite?
Oh and carrot cake too

Do a google search for Wacky cake or Depression cake. It's the same recipe, but super easy and tasty! What I always do it when the cake is finished baking, sprinkle chocolate chips on top, then put back in the oven for two minutes. Then spread the chocolate chips over the cake like frosting. Serve it warm with ice cream.

The key is to mix it in the pan with a fork. It turns out best that way.

I've made this a bunch of times and it is tdf. I use honey, not agave.

Chocolate Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

• 3 cups grated carrot
• ¾ c agave nectar
• 2 eggs
• 2 egg whites
• ½ c applesauce
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ¾ c whole wheat pastry flour (I have subbed ¾ c sprouted spelt)
• ½ c cocoa powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 c grain sweetened chocolate chips

Frosting:

• 12 ounces Neufchatel cheese
• 3 c unrefined powdered sugar
• 1 TBS vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350*f. Line two 9 inch round cake pans with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together carrots, agave, eggs, whites, applesauce and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Let cool in pans.
While cakes are cooling prepare frosting by blending ingredients with a mixer until smooth. When cakes are cool, spread about one third of the frosting over cake #1. Place cake #2 on top of cake #1. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake.

The Pioneer woman's carrot cake recipe is very good (I add raisins) . She also has a few chocolate versions .
I usually make the Hershey recipe
