Carrot Cake

I was asked to make a carrot cake and so I wanted to try a new recipe. Thanks to Emeril I found a fabulous one, probably one of the best cakes I have made. I couldn't stop "taste testing" this one.



The hard part was shredding all those carrots! I had a hand cramp, but so worth it! Yes, laugh at my stone age method of shredding. There is probably a better way, but this is what I had on hand.



I made one change, I put the nuts on the outside instead of the inside, much prettier and tastier, in my humble opinion.
