Shortcut Carrot Cake image

This is one of the best carrot cakes we have had. It is from Kraft, and is SO easy. I changed it a tad, by adding golden raisins to my liking, and I made it in a 11x13 pan, and added baking time to it until it tested done as directed. The prep time was based on shredding the carrots, but buying the prepared carrots cuts the prep time to about 10 minutes!

This carrot cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I would recommend using a different recipe next time.
