Weekend Baking sorted: Brown sugar takes this carrot cake to the next level

[ad_1]

We use a variety of sugars in sweet bakes, and all do different things, but in my view, brown sugar is queen among them. Not only does it bring the dense, soft texture and caramel texture I tend to prefer, the molasses in brown sugar also helps keep baking moist. Taste it in action this weekend with these cookie, slice and carrot cake recipes.
