My daughters and I made this together, easily prepared, a moist delicious cake, we made it into 2 loaves so that they could take one back to their flat with them. We didnt get as far as icing it --- meant to ice the one, but everyone wanted to taste, and in the end, it didn't seem worth it!! Very nice carrot cake, made for PAC Fall 2011, thank you Liszard!
