Thanksgiving Cake image

My granddaughter wanted to make a cake for Thanksgiving instead of pies. I found this recipe on an educational website, but the ingredients and directions were very mixed up, so I decided to rewrite in a more sensible order. We used the maple glaze option.

I'm not a fan of nuts in my cake, so I omitted the walnuts. The cake still turned out great.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cake.

This cake was a disaster. It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of carrot cake, but this one was surprisingly good. The cake was moist and the frosting was creamy and not too sweet. I would definitely make this cake again.

This Thanksgiving cake was a huge hit with my family! It was moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making this cake again next year.
