Yummy Carrot Cake Recipe

Every Easter momma would always make the most delicious and moist carrot cake, with a beautiful layer of cream cheese frosting topped with crushed nuts. I haven't been able to find the recipe the last several years but during COVID-19 quarantine I was able to pull it out of the archives. Be sure to serve with a glass of cold milk. Enjoy!
