One of my favorite cake is carrot cake and is enjoyed by everyone in my family. When I make this cake my daughter usually calls my brother (my baby brother who is only 20 yrs. old) to tell him that she is having carrot cake and he is not. I get a call from him telling me.... yes, telling me to send him cake with my hubby. You see Paul is a slick little man who is used to getting his way so, when I am about to start to say no because he lives about an hour away from us he cuts me off and propositions me to 2 nights of babysitting my kids.... now, how can i say no to that. Anyways I baked him his own cake, and he was very happy the next day when my hubby took the cake to him, my mom told me that he had made a "Do Not Touch" sign in case my other brothers stopped by and were tempted. This cake is so moist and delicious you can't go wrong with it.
