Recipe Introduction
This is the gospel truth, this is the best carrot cake that I have ever made or eaten in my life. When I make this cake, I have to dole out pieces to all my friends and family or they would hang me. One neighbor even bought all the ingredients on several occasions just so I could make it for their family. You will never want another carrot cake recipe after trying this one. I do have to warn you though, and no jokes, this recipe is very fattening, guess that is why it is so good?
