Gama’s Carrot Cake

What is my favorite cake? I will always say Banana Cake with Peanut Butter frosting. Because it’s unusual, so having it is a special treat. But in reality, there is a tie between that cake and this carrot cake. The only bad thing about this cake is that is so fucking good that all other carrot cakes are sub-par because this cake set the bar. It’s moist. It has all the goodies in it. And the icing is pure PERFECTION. I dare you to disagree.
