When I make a cake for someone, I usually bake just a wee bit of the batter in a little dish so I can see what it's like. It isn't my favorite but it's very rich and moist. There are also many variations on the recipe, so it's a matter of finding your favorite. It is a favorite for weddings where all you get is a sliver, lol. The calories come from all the carrots and fruit, so how could it be bad for you!!
