Personal Notes:
The recipe name is for Leslie's mom but at our house it would have been Father's cake. Dad loves carrot cake and, when he was wanting something sweet, he would make this cake! Over the years we have played with the recipe and made a few changes, so it really is Father's Cake. If you want to make this in a layer cake, line the 9 inch rounds with parchment paper.
