Jan's Carrot Cake image

This recipe was given to me by a co-worker. She said it is her mother's recipe and as far as she has ever tasted it is the best. I did a throrough search of Recipezaar and saw no other recipe exactly like it. Even though there are so many I figured when it comes to cakes it is the subtle differences that matter, so please give this one a try!
