The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

The name says it all in this case... I think this is the best carrot cake recipe to ever come through our test kitchen. The orange marmalade is the secret. Nobody who tastes it will guess that there are preserves in the batter—they’ll just think you’re a genius!

Warning: do NOT use these cooking oils!

This may actually suprise you.. Some of these oils are healthy and some are VERY unhealthy -- soybean oil, olive oil, coconut oil, corn oil, etc... Let's take a closer look. (click here)
