This carrot cake is such a well loved recipe in my family. It's delicious, moist, and unlike most recipes I've ever tried. My younger sister loves this carrot cake so much she hired a baker to use our family recipe for her wedding cake.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out right. It was too dense and the frosting was too runny.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more oil or butter next time.

This cake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a box of spice cake mix and added shredded carrots and chopped walnuts. The cream cheese frosting was the perfect finishing touch.
