Carrot cake is my fathers favorite kind of cake. I make a great one with sourdough starter. It is heavenly. I love using sourdough. Do you like sourdough starter?

Yeah another great recipe. I am not a huge fan of carrot cake but this would make a great gift basket where you put the snack cake mix in the basket along with the nuts, and the dry ingredients for the frosting. I love all of these. Thanks again for taking time to post these.
