Grandma's Apple Carrot Cake image

Rich, moist and cinnamony, this old-fashioned cake recipe was handed down from our beloved Grandma Kelly. It's a perfect way to use up a few carrots and an apple...and it's ideal for smaller families, since it yields fewer servings.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add an extra egg next time to make it more moist.
