"This is a clone of Cracker Barrel carrot cake, I've never had that cake there but I can say that hands-down this is the best carrot cake recipe, it's the most moist and fabulous carrot cake! This cake freezes great so I sometimes make small mini cakes and then freeze them, For Christmas I always get requests to make this cake because I add in cranberries and other dried fruit to the batter so it's something like a Christmas carrot cake!"
