Carrot Cake Bars (tea bread)

Looking for a carrot cake recipe, we’ve got one here submitted by one of our great customers.  This recipe has a couple of secret ingredients, only a few know about these ingredients and lucky for you, we know right where to find some of these ingredients.  Who would’ve thought Tangerine Oil and Coconut flakes could be used in Carrot Cake Bars?  Sound to good to be true?  Not a chance, we are going to make this recipe a not so secret anymore thanks to Shirley.


Carrot cake can come in many different forms, you can make carrot cake, carrot cake cupcakes, carrot cake scones, etc. etc.  This is one on the first time we heard of someone making carrot cake bars, but we have to tell you, what a delicious and simple recipe to try at home.
