Amish Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

CARROT CAKE: Even people who don’t like to eat their veggies can often 
stomach carrot cake. And, hey, we all the cake is a healthy thing to 
eat, after all, it has carrots in it, right? Um…yea, I wish it worked 
that way. I think all the sugar and the thick layer of cream cheese 
frosting negates any potential health benefits. But, wow, is this a 
delicious way to get your carrots. Yuh-um! This is a cake carrot cake 
with cream cheese frosting that I picked up at an Amish bakery today. 
Good stuff! The recipe below makes a similar carrot cake, it was given 
to me by an Amish woman in Kansas where, presumably, they grow great 
carrots. Doesn’t this look delish? Here is here recipe
