Chocolate Carrot Cake

Everything you love about classic carrot cake, right down to the cream cheese frosting, but madeover with a heap of CHOCOLATE! This Chocolate Carrot Cake is an epic twist on a classic, and you’ll love the unique flavor of this ultra-moist cake! Everything is better with chocolate, right? And this Chocolate Carrot Cake is no exception

No need to mess with a good carrot cake recipe. Totally agree, unless it’s to add chocolate. You must try Chocolate Carrot Cake. The only thing that’s really different about this Chocolate Carrot Cake from classic carrot cake is, in fact, the chocolate. That’s really it.

I added chocolate to carrot cake in every component. Cocoa in the cake, mini chocolate chips, and cocoa in the cream cheese frosting. Super simple idea, and equally easy execution (just add chocolate!), but it makes for an extremely unique carrot cake!
