SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – Did you know that April 4 is International Carrot Day? To celebrate, here are five recipes you can make at home tonight for dinner and dessert.

This classic from Inspired Taste is the perfect recipe for National Carrot Day. It’s the usual moist, no-frills carrot cake with a delicious cream cheese icing. This simple recipe turns a dozen ingredients into a scrumptious cake that the whole family will enjoy.
This carrot cake takes a little over an hour to make. Most of that time is in the oven as it bakes for around 45 minutes. It makes one nine-inch double layer cake or 22 to 24 cupcakes. There is a video available which you can see through the link to the recipe here.
Creamy Roasted Carrot Soup
If you’re in the mood for soup, this recipe from Cookie and Kate will be right up your alley. It can be served with salads and sandwiches as a side dish or all on its own as a wonderful entrée. If you’re lactose intolerant or sensitive to mil, have no fears. This creamy soup does not actually feature any cream.
