Sour Cream Carrot Cake image

This is my mummy and my brothers favourite cake apparently. I just made it for mummy's birthday and I can see why. Mummy used to make this all the time when I was little. I couldn't believe how easy and quick it was.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste, but the frosting was delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out anything like the picture. It was flat and dense.
