Recipes - Grandma Anna's Carrot Cake

Here is a great recipe for Carrot Cake.  My mom says this is her absolute favorite.  When my birthday was on Easter, she made this cake for me.  I remember one time that she made it in the shape of a rabbit.  I'll have to find the picture.  I remember seeing it sometime recently in our box of photos.
