Best Carrot Cake Ever
I made this carrot cake for Easter and it got rave reviews from everyone. It's easy to see how it got the name because people kept saying, "this is the best carrot cake!"
I read many of the reviews before choosing to make the cake. I grated the carrots in a food processor for ease, mixed them with the brown sugar and after an hour, drained a small amount of liquid out of the bowl. For personal preference, I omitted the raisins and nuts. I followed the remainder of the recipe.
The mix made 24 nice-sized cupcakes. I baked one (12-count) cupcake pan at a time.
I made the frosting suggested in the review by MelanieDC but only got half of the sugar mixed in and noticed the taste of the confectioners sugar overpowering the cream cheese.
I was a little disturbed by the amount of oil in this recipe. I generally eat somewhat healthy and although the cake tasted great, I kept wishing I didn't know the ingredients. Next time, I will probably substitute 1/2 cup applesauce for 1/2 of the oil.
