A moist, delicious cake that everyone devoured. I've made many carrot cakes and sometimes the ingredients are off, as in, not enough flour to support the carrots, nuts, and raisins. This one is well-tested and works perfectly.

I made this cake for my husband's birthday yesterday and have to say what a DELICIOUS cake it was! I didn't put the citrus juices in and would eliminate the zests as well for my next one but that is a personal preference, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! A definite MAKE AGAIN recipe!
