Carrot Cake

How do I grate the carrots for carrot cake?

What kind of frosting should I use for carrot cake?

How do I make sure my carrot cake is moist and not dry?

What other ingredients can I add to my carrot cake for more flavor and texture?

My husband constantly requests this homey, old-fashioned version of carrot cake. The frosting is still tasty even without the pecans. —Adrian Badon, Denham Springs, Louisiana
