Carrot Cake

I've never tried making carrot cake. I could never understand it. To be fair until recently I didn't even know that it contained carrots, I always thought it was called this way because of it's colour!
To be fair it's a very interesting cake. Great flavour very moist and with lovely cream cheese frosting.
It's super easy and worth trying.
