This is an absolutely FAB carrot cake,My late Uncle Rick gave my mom the recipe and I've been making it since I was 12 years old (now i'm 20 so go figure). I made it just ONCE at my aunties house and she's had to bake it every week for 4 months now because my uncle keeps requesting it! I always used to be asked to bring it for bake sales too :)
