Realistically, you could put any icing you wanted on a carrot cake. The wonderful beauty of cooking is that you can make it to your liking. But, the traditional icing that most people put on carrot cake is cream cheese icing.
The lemon zest complements the cream cheese so perfectly that I sometimes even snack on this frostingâI just can't get enough of the sweet, tangy flavor! If you want extra oomph on the Carrot Cake, add minced ginger to the lemon zest. This is a great frosting for the Carrot Cake.
