I’m OBSESSED with making snack cakes ever since I got my hands on a mini load baking pan. This is my second time using it and I love it more than making one big cake I have to force myself to stop cutting pieces from These mini cakes are the perfect serving size.

There are so many different combinations I can think of to use this recipe for, but it being the beginning of fall had me craving carrot cake with cinnamon, nutmeg, pecans and chocolate chips.
