Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting is my very favourite. However, it absolutely must have raisins in it or I won't eat it. :)
DH makes the very best carrot cake. Usually for one of them there birthdays that I don't have anymore. ;)
I'll have to try that recipe too - love carrot cake. Thanks. A x
