GRANDMA'S FABULOUS CARROT CAKE (NO PINEAPPLE!)
This recipe has been in our family for years and is the most requested. It produces a moist, delicately spiced cake which improves as each day passes! Store in an airtight container and eat within 10 days. There is no pineapple in this recipe (or my other carrot cake recipe). Minus the frosting, this cake also freezes perfectly.
