This carrot cake is everything I was hoping for and more. It's moist, flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting is to die for. I will definitely be making this cake again and again.

Just made this cake and it turned out great! I used a bundt pan instead of a 9x13 pan and it worked perfectly. The cake is moist and flavorful and the cream cheese frosting is delicious. I will definitely be making this cake again.
