I stumbled upon a carrot cake mix while grocery shopping. With thanksgiving around the corner, I thought it would be good to bake a cake and share it with my coworkers. I baked my first cake a few weeks prior and it crumpled due to lack of eggs to bind it. This one held up pretty well.

What’s the secret?
