"Originally from a Taste of Home Magazine. Not that I don't like the great taste of regular carrot cake, but this cake adds another fantastic twist to an original. See if you don't agree. Note - the frosting for this cake is canned, so feel free to use your own home-made cream cheese frosting which is better. :-)"
