The crumb topping makes this carrot cake something special. This cake is perfectly sweet and tangy with warm cinnamon and nutmeg aroma.

With Easter just around the corner, this delicious cake that combines three desserts in one, is the perfect, especially if you will celebrate Easter in a small family circle. You probably won’t need a lot of food for a large number of people. Therefore, this easy cake will be the best choice.

Delicious cake…but as far as prep time being 15 minutes, I bake a lot but all those required steps took me about 45 minutes.
I admit I had to grate the carrots by hand but still was lots to do for a 8×8 cake.

I made this the other day…it was amazing. I think I probably should not have used jumbo egg for my cream cheese mixture. But it was the best coffee cake that I have ever made. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thank you so much

This cake sounds so delicious! Could I replace the yogurt in the carrot cake?

Thank you for creating wonderful recipes. I tried and liked your blueberry cheese coffee cake. It was very yummy. I failed baking this carrot cake coffee cake. I followed the exact recipe but my carrot cake did not turn out right, the texture, tasted differently, not like a cake at all. Could it be too much yoghurt(I used set natural yoghurt not the liquid type)? Not sure what went wrong. Is it possible to change the yoghurt to extra eggs. I would love to try again.
