1940'S BEST CARROT CAKE RECIPE



1940's Best Carrot Cake Recipe image

From Jane at Just a Pinch Recipe Club: Again, going back to my vintage recipes that have been in my family for years, I spotted an old recipe from the 40's for carrot cake. It was titled THE BEST CARROT CAKE. Well, I figured it was now the 90's at the time and was sure someone probably had come up with a better recipe since then. I was wrong. To date, I have not tasted better carrot cake ever. It's easy and the outcome is amazing.

CARROTS (OLD FAMILY RECIPE)



Carrots (Old Family Recipe) image

Ever eat carrots that melt in your mouth? These do (or it just seems like it). My grandmother and my great aunt both made these. The thinner the slices the better (in my opinion) Buy them pre-sliced or use your food processor (with practice)
