Cream Cheese frosting is what everyone uses with carrot cake. I like it without a frosting but if I had to frost this cake I would try the white chocolate mousse that I used with the "white chocolate mousse macadamia cake"I made.

I have my own version of carrot cake, but this looks amazing! I also don't like my carrot cake to have a frosting. It goes great with tea without the frosting. I'm going to save your recipe and give it a try.
