Grandma Lill's Carrot Cake

It was my birthday last week and I ended up making my own cake because I wouldn't settle for anything other than my Grandma Lill's carrot cake. It made my husband a bit nervous baking it from scratch, so I did it gladly just because I know how freakin good it is! :)

This cake is so moist and oh so delicious. My Mom use to make it all the time growing up. Love it!
