If you’re searching for the best carrot cake recipe, you’re in the right place. This is the carrot cake I come back to every single time! It’s perfectly moist, deeply spiced, and layered with rich cream cheese frosting.

No raisins, no nuts, no weird add-ins trying to steal the spotlight. Just classic carrot cake flavor done really, really well.

I only had carrot cake for the first time a few years ago. My good friend, Melissa Brandley was in town for the Sundance Film Festival and we went out to dinner for a good ol’ catch up on all things in life. We laughed until our sides hurt, cried together right there in the restaurant and had the most delicious carrot cake.  That carrot cake inspired me to create this recipe, my Favorite Carrot Cake.

I’m not a fan of carrot cakes that are full of all sorts of ingredients like orange peel, candied ginger, walnuts, pecans, and raisins. At that point it gets too busy and almost doesn’t even seem like a cake anymore. I want fresh, moist and flavorful, and I want it to taste like a carrot cake.

Why This is the Best Carrot Cake Recipe

This really is the best carrot cake recipe because it keeps things simple and lets the cake shine. It’s incredibly moist, perfectly spiced, and made without raisins, nuts (optional), or distractions. The carrots melt right into the batter, the crumb stays soft for days.

I have a 5 minute limit on my Instagram so to say that I’m out of touch with things is a total understatement. But! My sister texted me one day that she’d sent more reels than dollars in her pocket so I’d better get on and watch them all.

As soon as I opened it up, I saw a crunchy tortilla pocket and knew instantly we should make a Korean beef version to use our viral beef recipe. And I cannot even tell you how unbelievable they are! Like, I would literally make a food truck of these suckers!!

This Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe is high in protein, easy to make, and loved by both kids and adults! It’s the perfect way to use leftover hard-boiled eggs from Easter. Egg salad is a classic staple for every household and is great to enjoy at home or on the go.

I’ll be honest, I’d never even tried egg salad because I didn’t see the point. And really, how often are you even offered egg salad? For me, basically never! Then one day we went to a new sandwich shop and my husband ordered an egg salad sandwich. I was genuinely confused. We’d been married over five years and I’d never once seen him eat it. He said he’d always liked egg salad, he just never thought to make it. Interesting.

Then I got pregnant, got sick, lived on IV therapy for a while, and completely forgot egg salad even existed. Until this past week. And wow. It’s delicious. I love deviled eggs so why didn’t I think about trying egg salad? I’ve clearly been missing out. So consider this your sign. Try it for lunch, dinner, a snack, as a sandwich, on crackers, or in a wrap. However you eat it, just try it.

Ingredients for Egg Salad Sandwiches

There are a million egg salad sandwich recipes out there, but none of them are going to be as glorious as this one. These are the ingredients you will need:

• Mayonnaise: It has to be Hellman’s. Trust me on this one.
• Dijon or Yellow Mustard: I usually reach for Dijon, but yellow works just fine if that’s what you have.
• Stoneground Mustard: Adds an extra layer of flavor and a little texture that makes the salad more interesting.
• White Vinegar or Lemon Juice: The acid is key to getting the flavor just right and balancing the richness.
• Fresh Chives: Bring a subtle onion and garlic flavor without overpowering the eggs.
• Fresh Parsley: Adds a bright, fresh note that keeps the salad from feeling heavy.
• Fresh Dill Weed: You can’t miss that classic dill flavor. It’s essential for a proper egg salad.
• Kosher Salt: Season thoughtfully and taste often until it’s just right.
• Black Pepper: Adds flavor with the tiniest hint of heat.
• Hard-Boiled Eggs: Use your preferred method. We have posts for both stovetop and Instant Pot.
• 7-Grain Bread: High quality is key so it can stand up to the creamy egg salad.
• Green Leaf Lettuce: I love the crunch and the fresh, bright contrast it adds.

The measurements for each ingredient are listed in the recipe card at the end of the post. You can also save or print the recipe from there.
