My Aunt Helen is one of the best bakers I know. She has been making this cake ever since I can remember. The highlight of a holiday meal was when this cake was served. It is still a family tradition and certainly a favorite.

I'm not a big fan of carrot cake, but I tried this recipe and it was actually pretty good! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was creamy and not too sweet.

I found this carrot cake to be a bit dry. I think I might have overbaked it. Next time, I'll try baking it for a shorter amount of time.

This carrot cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
