Way back when, Mom would bake carrot cake around this time of the year. Us boys knew that around Chistmas time that was a treat worth waiting for. To smell it baking would make my mouth water. To this day we continue to have carrot cake during the holiday season. Below is the recipe for mom's Carrot Cake. We found the card with the recipe written in Mom's hand writing back in the 70's and use it every year to make this great dessert or evening snack. Following is that recipe;
