LIZ'S FAMOUS CARROT CAKE
My wife got this carrot cake recipe from Bride and Groom Forever cookbook. I love two kinds of cakes - anything chocolate, and carrot cake. This is by far the best carrot cake I've ever had. Using carrot baby food sounds weird, but it tastes amazing! I don't like when carrot cakes have too much spice in them, and this one has just the right amount. People who say they hate carrot cake even love this one! Delicious!
