Top secret carrot cake recipe

Without doubt, carrot cake is the most popular request for both classes and markets- there is just something about the combo of spiced, moist sponge with a thick cream cheese frosting topping... insanely good! I often get asked what recipe I use for my carrot cake, and the truth is that its evolved over time and tends to be seasonal too! What I am going to give you though, is my 'base' carrot cake recipe and then offer a few suggestions for tweaking it to your own taste at home... your welcome!
