This is a delicious, moist carrot cake. Just FYI, I got a tad more than 3 cups shredded carrots from a 1 lb. bag. I made one change, and used 1 3/4 cups brown sugar and omitted the white sugar. Everything else I left as is, and this cake is spectacular. I will make it again and again. I used my own favorite cream cheese frosting (similar to yours but without any whipping cream or whipped topping, and with the addition of a teaspoon of almond extract) and this cake was gobbled right up for dessert tonight. Yummy! Thanks Kittencal for another guaranteed success!
