This is the BEST Carrot cake you will ever taste! I got the original recipe from a secretary of mine who was a wonderful baker. She had all the above being mixed at low speed with a hand mixer, and or course, doing the grating of the carrots in advance. For those of us with a Cuisinart or like machine, this is a very easy recipe. I grate ~~ 5-8 or so carrots, depending upon how big they are, then switch to the mixing blade, and proceed. See what your machine's instructions are when modifying a cake recipe, as it might not call for blending the oil/sugar, first, as in most standard recipes. If using a Cuisinart, just be careful not to over blend. I promise you'll get raves, and because of it's size, great for a party.
