This is a moist delicious carrot cake that's not too sweet and gets rave reviews when I make it.
I usually make it as a sheet cake but it is so much prettier as a layer cake!
My
mother-in-law Coy Lynch handed down her mother's Carrot Cake recipe
to me many years ago. Her mother was Annabelle (Sharer) Elder from
Alexis, Illinois.
I never got to meet Annabelle but the cousins all
talk fondly of visits to her house. Annabelle and her husband John H. had
5 children, one of which is the famous and highly successful high
school coach John K. Elder.
