I love carrot cake. It can come in any form, have nearly anything in it, and I love to try the unexpected. This is one of those carrot cakes. No cream cheese frosting here. But an unexpected ingredient, graham crackers! Mostly traditional other than that, delicious as carrot cakes are, moist, and easy. This is a good one to take on picnics or potlucks, because a light dusting of powdered sugar is al it needs to top it off! A family favorite and one the neighbors always liked. When we got together, I brought the cake, and someone made ice tea, and we shared the latest 'news'. Never gossip ;)
