National Carrot Cake Day

These days, no one wants to be caught using a store bought box of cake mix, when all of these television shows make it look so easy. The thing about that thought right there is, not many people have ever taken the time to make a cake completely from scratch so they have no clue as to what kind of consistency they are looking for in either the batter or the icing.

This recipe right here is a true classic. It was given to me by a friend whose Grandmother ran a cake company in Atlanta for many, many years. She had her business together and her recipe down cold, so cold that she almost made it to the grave without giving it to anyone.

Today being National Carrot Cake Day, I figured I would pull it out and flash the goods one time to let everyone know what time it is. Ok people get your mind out of the gutters, I am talking about the Carrot Cake recipe (for the time being anyways.)

Enjoy this recipe, print it out and keep it in a safe spot, you never know when you may have to showcase your skills to your family or friends and this right here, shows you mean business.
