Yesterday, for our Family Night dessert I made a yummy Carrot Cake recipe that I found here. It's called "Best Carrot Cake Ever" & it comes from a 1940's recipe. The only thing I did differently was add a can of crushed pineapple & I used 1 cup of Splenda & 1 cup of regular granulated sugar. If your looking for a moist & delicious Carrot Cake that's easy to make give this recipe a try! Everyone in my family liked it including the kids.
