Carrot Cake Donuts
My dad's favorite cake and birthday dessert of choice is carrot cake. When dreaming up what type of donuts I wanted to create for the blog I was inspired by him + eager to please one of my favorite two taste testers. I was first thinking of going healthy with it. Carrots are a vegetable after all... I then realized these donuts just aren't the same without that cream cheese frosting. That rich, satisfying flavor of carrot cake didn't come through. So, I went with it! I made a quick and easy frosting and it made all the difference. If you're a fan of pecans or walnuts, feel free to crush them up, throw them on a baking sheet and bake them for the last 5 minutes with the donuts. Toss them on top of the icing for crunch!
