I won first place at the fair in Glenville, GA, when I was 10 years old when I was in the 4-H Club. At that time, the farmer’s market was turned into a massive cooking and canning competition.
This cake is very easy to make and is a crowd-pleaser. You won’t taste the carrots in it, but you will see the orange flakes. Try it out. Your family and friends will want more.
