Grandma Cookie’s Carrot Cake
“This recipe came from my mom, a.k.a. Grandma Cookie. When my mom and dad were married back in 1970 my great-grandma gave them a church cookbook and this was a recipe in it. I have changed a few things by adding some ingredients and lightened it by replacing half of the oil with applesauce. You won’t miss the extra oil because this is a super moist and tasty cake. It also makes fabulous cupcakes.” – Cara
