I bake this cake for my Church's coffee hour a couple of times a month. When I do, Father Thomas announces to the Church at the end of mass that Danny S. has baked another of his famous St. David's Heavenly Carrot Cakes. After the service, the parishioners flock to the Parish Hall and it's gone in just a few minutes. Thanks be to GOD for a great recipe! Ingredients:
