Meh, this carrot cake was just okay. It was a bit dry and the flavor was bland. The cream cheese frosting was good, but it couldn't save the cake.

This carrot cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still a good cake. The texture was moist and fluffy, and the cream cheese frosting was creamy and tangy. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
