A nut and dried fruit-free carrot cake layered and topped with a delicious brown butter cream cheese frosting, which adds just the right caramelized touch of flavor to bring it all together. Whether you simply don't like nuts or fruit in your cake or you have an allergy that prevents them, this is the carrot cake recipe for you!

There is something about browning butter that adds a deeper richness and flavor to a baked good. By browning the butter in this glaze, you cut some of the sweetness of the powdered sugar, with a deep richness in the butter. Plus, it gives the most aesthetically pleasing little specs that pair well with your favorite spice cake, chocolate cake, or really any treat.
