Grandma’s Apple Carrot Cake

by | Sep 24, 2019 | CSA Member Updates, Recipes

This rich and moist snacking cake goes together quickly and probably will disappear just as quickly after your family tastes it. Another recipe found on the Taste of Home web-site, we are told it “was handed down from our beloved Grandma Kelly.”

Prep time: 25 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Servings:  9

1/4 teaspoon baking soda
