So many great comments on this delicious cake:
“This has become my go-to recipe for carrot cake, everyone loves it anytime I make it. Thank you!” – Conrad
“I made this Monday night to take to my craft group on Tuesday. It was delicious. We had a small group because of the weather so I had plenty left over. Took it to our bowls group the next day and they loved it too. I got lots of compliments. I put the nuts and some raisins in mine. I can only get spreadable cream cheese where I live so my icing was a little softer than I would have liked but had great flavor.” – Rhonda
“I have made this carrot cake recipe several times and my whole family loves it. It is one of the most requested cakes that I make for family functions. THANK YOU FOR THE RECIPE.” -Patricia
