Avon Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting image

My sister in law made this for a family gathering over the Labor Day weekend. She got this out of an old Avon cookbook when she was a teenager. It doesn't have any add ins and I think that is the beauty of it. If you like add ins there are many many other carrot cakes on zaar for you to choose from. While there are similar recipes posted there is none with these exact ingredients and amounts. Enjoy!
