Chef's Tips
Just be sure to refrigerate it as spoiled cream cheese icing is very nasty.
While some people insist that carrot cake contains raisins, this recipe does not call for them. Add them if you like, but this cake is outstanding without them.
Also 1 cup chopped walnuts can be added to the recipe
