We can see why this carrot cake recipe is famous. It's a delicious, classic carrot cake recipe. The purist in us thinks carrot cake should have raisins, so we added them. They're a great addition. The cake itself is packed with flavor. The icing is really smooth and creamy. The nuts on top add a nice little crunch. So good!
