This is my son, Alexzander's favorite carrot cake. (When he was little he called it rabbit cake.) This is a wonderful, moist cake that can be made as above, or in 2 loaf pans & topped with 8tbsp butter & 6 tbsp of honey beat until smooth & spoon over top. It takes a long time to prepare but is well worth it! Hope you enjoy!
