Chantilly Carrot Cake image

There was a restaurant/bakery back in the 40's and 50's, and probably longer than that, in Toledo, Ohio called Smith's Cafeteria. They had the best carrot cake that I've ever had and I've been looking for a recipe that would compare ever since and I've finally found one. This cake is light and fluffy and not the heavy spice cake that most carrot cakes are. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.
