Carin' Aboutcha Carrot Cake image

Lee Craig Douglas submitted this recipe to a Saturday Evening Post contest and it subsequently appeared in a cookbook of popular recipes from that lauded magazine. I've used this more times than I can remember, and it's always a winner! I sometimes use 1/2 whole wheat four and less oil: it is a very moist cake.

I thought this carrot cake was just average. It was moist, but the flavor was a bit bland.

This carrot cake was just okay. It wasn't as moist as I would have liked and the cream cheese frosting was a bit too runny.

I didn't like this carrot cake. It was too dense and the cream cheese frosting was too sweet.

This carrot cake was a disappointment. It was dry and bland. The cream cheese frosting was also too thick and sweet.
