MYSTERY CARROT CAKE
This recipe makes a wonderfully moist cake, the ultimate carrot cake. The recipe came from one of the Betty Crocker recipes books that you find at the checkout. After using it for years, I lost the recipe. I was never able to find the recipe posted anywhere. Tonight I found the original booklet. I am so excited. I am posting the recipe to share and to ensure the location.of the recipe. I hope you enjoy this cake as much as my family does.
