Carin' Aboutcha Carrot Cake image

Lee Craig Douglas submitted this recipe to a Saturday Evening Post contest and it subsequently appeared in a cookbook of popular recipes from that lauded magazine. I've used this more times than I can remember, and it's always a winner! I sometimes use 1/2 whole wheat four and less oil: it is a very moist cake.
