Carrot Cake Recipe

Just because it has a lot of ingredients does not mean that it is hard. Make sure you have every thing you need. This is by far the best carrot cake that I have ever had and I am sure you will enjoy it too. If you don't have a mixer, or hand mixer just use a wooden spoon and stir it by hand.
