Starbucks Carrot Cake
"There's nothing like a slice of fresh carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and a tall glass of cold milk. A hot latte ain't such a bad chaser either. I suppose that's why you'll find one of the best carrot cakes at Starbucks. It's moist and flavorful, packed with nuts and golden raisins. Starbucks makes sure its tasty baked goods are fresh by contracting with local bakeries to produce cakes and scones and muffins from the coffee chain's top secret specs. Now you've got your own secret specs with this formula for a carrot cake clone that tastes like it came straight from your local coffee house.
