Recipe Introduction
Posted by: ToniTNY************This recipe is the best I have ever eaten - I don't even copy Carrot cake recipes any more. It is not for those afraid of fat or sweetness, nor is it diet-friendly, but OMG is it delicious! It is soooo moist, but it does not have refrigerated batter. Thought you might like it anyway...
