This cake surprised me with its wonderful taste and moistness and at the same time soft and light texture. The only hard work to be done while making this cake is to finely grate the carrots. With all the warm spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and Allspice) added to the flour, it is a perfect treat for winters. To take the taste of this cake to a different level, apply a layer of cream-cheese frosting. Enjoy this cake with a mug of hot coffee.
