I am a serious fan of the backyard barbecue.  Lounging on the patio with a glass of wine or iced sun-tea while the grill does it’s thing and the kids run around the backyard is my idea of heaven.  If I can sit on my patio while the whole meal cooks on the grill, that is even better yet!

This is my favorite recipe for carrot cake. It is 100% made from scratch, ridiculously easy to make, incredibly versatile, and utterly delicious. AND…it might be the OLDEST recipe in my personal recipe book.

My copy of this recipe came out of an old, long-forgotten church cookbook and is still on a faded-to-yellow scrap of paper in my dads handwriting…from when I was eleven!  It has been requested and made dozens of time, has a perfected cream cheese frosting, and an easy candied pecan that adds a toasty, sweet crunch.

This incredibly easy, but totally scratch-made cake is inspired by one of my favorites. Hershey’s used to have a Black Magic Cake on the back of their can and it’s been proven over and over as a classic for a reason.

Don’t get me wrong, the Irish Cream in the cream cheese frosting, kind of like in my Irish Cream Bread Pudding, doesn’t hurt either!
