There are few things we love more than the smell of baked goods on a beautiful fall afternoon, when the leaves are turning color, the temperature is getting colder, and the aroma of a beautiful cake fills your kitchen. If you’re yearning for this, too, you’ll want to check out Martha Stewart’s latest fall recipe: a “showstopping” spin on the classic carrot cake.

Stewart has a brand-new cookbook out called Cake Perfection, so it makes sense that she’s been sharing lots of cake recipes on Instagram for her followers to indulge in. This latest is indeed a showstopper! And if you’re asking why, exactly, it’s a twist on a traditional carrot cake, the answer is all in the surprising choice of frosting. Stewart isn’t opting for the traditional cream cheese frosting here, but instead uses a decadent white chocolate one!
