Carrot Cake...OMGGGGG!

Amazing Carrot Cake!

 

 
I highly recommend that you make this cake ASAP!!!!  Okay so I saw this cake on the following blog:  Lovin' From the Oven.  She raved about the cake sooooo much that I decided to make it.  Let me tell you, this cake is AMAZING!  I have made Carrot Cake before but this one was so moist, sooooo good, so not too sweet, not too overpowering but OMG!  All I can say is OMG! 

So here's what I did.  I used fresh carrots for this.  I am guessing that you can use the carrots that come already shredded but I highly recommend shredding them yourself.    I bought a bag of carrots and just started shredding the old fashioned way with a grater.  I am sure there is a easier way but this is how my mom, grandmother, aunts...you get the picture did it and it brought back soooo many memories of when I helped my grandmother and mother cook.  I love memories! 

So After this I mixed everything up.... and it looks like this...and oh yeah,  I used the wooden spoon as per the recipe.

So after the mixing is done....ready to bake.  I used two 9 inch pans. 

30-40 Mins later.....TA-DA!  Oh and did I mention that it smells sooooo good! 

And after you put the frosting on the cake...it may look like this..YUMMY!

I love it!  My new favorite recipe!
