About Recipe

I love a good carrot cake, especially at the start of spring. Growing up, my mother made a delicious orange-glazed carrot cake from the Southern Sideboards cookbook every Easter. It was always a huge hit. When Easter rolled around a few years ago, I found myself with a quantity of orange curd left over from a tartlet experiment, so we decided to try using it in our annual cake. Long story short: we ended up loving the creamy curd filling even more than the glaze! Several cakes, and a few recipe tweaks later, we had found a new Easter tradition in this Carrot Cake with Orange Curd.
