My mother had the best Easy Carrot Cake Recipe. Since she knew how much our family loved this cake, she gave me the recipe before she passed. While I have shared it with my family. Now I want to share it with you. When you make this, you have the option to bake it in a loaf pan, as a cake, or as a bundt cake. Now I prefer the loaf style. Therefore, I do not add any icing. Certainly, this keeps the calories down.
