The cake came out moist and delicious. Be warned, though, this cake is DENSE. I couldn't believe how heavy it was when I picked it up. A tiny slice is all you'll need.

My Mother's recipe was a lot like this one. The only difference was that she would soak the golden raisins in rum until they plumped up and then add them in, along with the carrots, pineapple and walnuts.

This is absolutely the BEST carrot cake I have ever had. Even my husband is eating it, and he hates carrots. Its perfect the way it is.....not much left of it now, but will definitely make it again.
