This is the 2nd time I've baked a carrot cake as each recipe there are sure to be in difference in the ingredients.  So I got to try which one taste better.  And alas, indeed, this carrot cake is real yummy!  So I will rate this to be a keeper too!  I shall give full credits and thanks to Quaypo and Sonia for this delicious carrot cake! 

I urge those who have not try baking carrot cake to give this a try.
