I grate the carrots on the coarse holes of a box grater, after being peeled. This is a great cake; not too rich, and sweet, without being cumbersome.

This cake was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it! He said it was the perfect balance of heat and flavor. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

This cake was a huge disappointment. The spice level was way too overpowering and the cake itself was dry and crumbly. I would not recommend this recipe.
