I could send some dragonettes to bring back but the little brats would eat it all before arriving home. The nerve of some spawn!
Please do share this recipe. I love making people smile, and giving of what I have.

taxlady,
Unfortunately; due to health issues, I no longer bake or consume spicy foods.
The negative comments that American cakes are soggy are from someone who does not understand the science of baking. Cakes require moisture, be it water or other ingredients.
I posted two recipes from the 93 carrot cake recipes in my MasterCook database to demonstrate there are more than one approach to achieving the final goal.
I like the Chief's recipe, I am entering it into my MasterCook database. The Wisconsin State Fair is derived from an American Heritage recipe. Graham Kerr's recipe is a traditional European approach to baking, obtained from a commercial baking establishment.
Which is best, I cannot say. The final judgement should be on individual tastes.
The reason for posting recipes is culinary diversity. Sometimes a fusion of recipes is superior to the individual recipes.
USA Wheat Breeds and European Wheat Breeds are different.
USA flour recipes will not work using European flour and vice vesa.
I have a comprehensive collection of USA baking books written by qualified baking professionals. All the recipes in the books were tested using all-purpose flour. One of the books gives a comparison of flours and methods of substitution. The Chief's Super Moist Carrot Cake has been formulated to succeed using all-purpose flour and will work every time. Baking is chemistry. Converting the recipe to an Austrian recipe is a waste of valuable resources. The chemical reaction will be different.

I’m Daniela, a gluten-free Austrian pastry chef based in Chicago. Thanks to my Celiac disease, I only prepare the most delicious gluten-free recipes for you.
Gluten Free Flour: I tested this recipe with Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 and my gluten-free flour blend. Both flours worked great. I even tested it with a mix of “end of bags” flours (including Bob’s Red Mill, King Arthur, and Cup4Cup) and this Gluten Free Carrot Snack Cake turned out fluffy and moist. All flour blends used contain xanthan gum and are a mix of flours. I do not recommend using a single flour in this recipe.

This is my modified carrot cake recipe. It is very moist, and tastes great. It is a fusion of zucchini bread, and carrot cake, with walnuts and raisins added to provide a little something extra. Enjoy.
Chief's Modified Carrot Cake
Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients:
3/4 cup oil
4 large eggs
1/2 cup water
1 tbs. dark molasses
1/8 cup pineapple juice
Fruit & Nut Ingredients:
1 cup finely shredded carrots (about four carrots)
1 cup finely grated yellow summer squash
1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
1/4 cup crushed pineapple
1 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 355 F.
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl with a balloon whisk. Put the raisins into a microwave safe bows and cover with tap water. Heat for two minutes on high and let them sit.
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs and oil with a whisk until smooth. Add the remaining wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth. Drain the raisins. Fold the fruits and nuts into the batter. Pour into a greased and floured 9X12 inch cake pan. Place into the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Test with a clean butter knife by inserting the knife into the middle of the cake, to the pan bottom. If its clean when you pull it out, the cake is done. If not, set the timer for an additional 10 minutes and retest.
Frost with cream cheese frosting. Please use homemade as the store bought stuff doesn't compare.
Home made cream cheese Frosting.
Cream Cheese Cake Icing
Ingredients:
3 cups Powdered Sugar
3 tbs. water
½ cup sweet-cream, unsalted Butter
16 oz. Cream Cheese
Melt butter. Add the cream cheese and stir with wire whisk, or beat with electric beater until well combined and smooth. combine the water and powdered sugar. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Slowly Mix the powdered sugar into the cheese mixture until all is silky smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
This frosting is easily spread at room temperature. Its rich flavor compliments spice and carrot cakes, and can be used to fill puff pastry, bismarks (filled yeast doughnuts), or Danish pastry. Personally, I like it chilled on whatever it’s put on. The texture is great either way. Enjoy.
