Not what I expected

I didn't care for this recipe as much as others I have tried. It camr out really dark and heavy. The frosting had a good flavor, but it was too thin to spread and stay put. I ended up adding 3 more cups of powdered sugar. I'll stick to my "Old tried and true'.

Good and Simple

I have been looking for a simple carrot cake recipe for years, when I came across this one, I just had to try it. I was easy to make and it came out beyond my expectations! It smelled wonderful while it baked and tasted just as delightful!

    I've tried many carrot cakes, and this is my favorite recipe. If you don't like pecans, feel free to leave them out.
