Carrot cake mix is baked like a cookie and each delectable dessert has a fluffy cream cheese filling that will bring the feeling of summer into your kitchen. A new, carroty-flavored twist, on a classic Amish taste.

What You'll Need

1 (21.41-ounce) package carrot cake mix
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
3 large eggs
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups confectioners' sugar

What to Do

To Make Cakes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat baking sheets with cooking spray.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, combine cake mix (see Note), oil, water, and eggs; beat well. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets about 2 inches apart. (Since "cakes" will be baked in batches, refrigerate batter until ready to place on baking sheets.)
Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cakes cool slightly then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

To Make Cream Cheese Filling

In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until fluffy.
Beat in confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time until smooth.

To Finish

Turn half the cooled cakes over onto their rounded sides and spread a dollop of filling over them. Place the other half of the cakes on top of the filling, forming sandwiches. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Before You Start Cooking!

Note: If your carrot cake mix comes with a packet of shredded carrots, make sure to add it to the batter!

Fun Fact!
In Amish culture, land is usually kept within the family. However, what's interesting, is that it is the youngest son, as opposed to the eldest child, who inherits the land.

Making for grandson's school birthday treat, using chocolate cake mix and strawberry flavored filling rather than vanilla. Can be customized to reflect any holiday or celebration. Will add a bit of filling to the top to hold sprinkles for 6 year olds.
