OLD-FASHIONED CARROT CAKE
MY FAMILY thinks this is the best carrot cake ever! We love the moist texture. The surprise is in the frosting. It's a pleasant departure from the usual cream cheese frosting that tops most carrot cakes. This cake doesn't last very long around our house! -Muriel Doherty, Phoenix, Arizona

EASY CARROT CAKE, GRANDMA W
This was another recipe of Grandma W's, with pineapple optional, and no raisins in the mix. However adding pecans makes this just amazing! Try this one, it is so darn good! With or without pineapple, this is amazing, and super easy. I wanted a carrot cake recipe for years, and it took me getting Grandma's recipe box for me to get one! (and actually she had multiple recipes)

OLD-FASHIONED CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
A pleasingly moist cake, this treat is the one I requested that my mom make each year for my birthday. It's dotted with sweet carrots and a hint of cinnamon. The fluffy buttery frosting is scrumptious with chopped walnuts stirred in. One piece of this homemade carrot cake is never enough-better than all the other carrot cakes recipes I've tried!-Kim Orr, West Grove, Pennsylvania
