One of our favorite desserts is this incredibly decadent carrot cake. We originally found this recipe in our 2003 edition of our Annual Southern Living Cookbook. We've made this cake several times for our friends here at the beach to incredible reviews. We fixed it for a party at our house over Memorial Day weekend and everyone wanted me to share the recipe.
