Best Carrot Cake Ever

BEST CARROT CAKE EVER
Added by JANE LOUISE [lovinspoonful] on Jan 31, 2011

JANE from CLARKSTON, MI (pop. 42,991) says:
Again, going back to my vintage recipes that have been in my family for years, I spotted an old recipe from the 40's for carrot cake. It was titled THE BEST CARROT CAKE. Well, I figured it was now the 90's at the time and was sure someone probably had come up with a better recipe since then. I was wrong. To date, I have not tasted better carrot cake ever. It's easy and the outcome is amazing. A great spring cake for Easter dinner and a tradition around here...hide it from the Easter Bunny though.
