    I made this cake a few days ago b/c of the abundance of carrots in the house... it was magnificent! I didn't put the frosting and I used walnuts instead and didn't get to eat too much (b/c of the sugar) BUT my younger sister who is always watching what she eats, scarfed it down... as well as my mother and father! My father actually requested that I make him another this week and to stick with this recipe!! Awesome! Thanks for the recipe! I'll post a photo next time I make it!
