This is the best carrot cake you will ever taste! My husband isn’t even a sweets eater and requests this cake! It’s very moist and needs time to set up in your refrigerator before icing! I once tried to bake it and quickly ice it for a church picnic and the whole thing caved in and fell apart. It’s worth the wait! So yummy!!
