1940's Best Carrot Cake Recipe image

From Jane at Just a Pinch Recipe Club: Again, going back to my vintage recipes that have been in my family for years, I spotted an old recipe from the 40's for carrot cake. It was titled THE BEST CARROT CAKE. Well, I figured it was now the 90's at the time and was sure someone probably had come up with a better recipe since then. I was wrong. To date, I have not tasted better carrot cake ever. It's easy and the outcome is amazing.

This carrot cake is a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of cream cheese frosting, so I used a different frosting recipe. The cake was still delicious!

This carrot cake is a bit bland. It needs more spices, in my opinion.

This carrot cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.
