And let me tell you, my 94yr old grandmother who now eats barely a crumb, sat on her patio looking out over the Indian ocean in Perth, Western Australia and ate 3 slices. Every family member took away the recipe and i imagine will be taking it along every time they visit my grandmother from now on. Although divinely yummy, i expect my grandmother might well regret showing so much joy eating it when she is served it for the 6th time in a week! Thank you for a lovely experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934407806899773045.post-67131655180536631532011-06-20T09:12:39.870-06:002011-06-20T09:12:39.870-06:00I made this yesterday for desert (carrot cake bein...I made this yesterday for desert (carrot cake being my husbands favorite desert and cream cheese icing being my favorite thing ever!!!) And it was delicious and easy :-) Everyone was a fan - even my brother who hates desert for being so sweet!

(Incidentally, all Merrill recipes I think!)<br /><br />I agree. This carrot cake doesn't joke around.
