Carrot Cake advice!

Malari

My friend's birthday is coming up and I want to bake her a cake...problem is I won't have time to do it the night before because of a family meal thing I'm going to. So, I've never made a carrot cake before (her fav) and I was wondering if I make it two nights before will it be manky or will it keep ok? Anyone got a decent recipe?

Carrot cake is great for keeping moist. Just make sure you lash it into an airtight container when it has cooled and don't ice it until that day.

Here are a few good websites:

I make this carrot cake every month or so and it'll keep for 2 days easily though once you begin to eat it it won't last long !

Thanks. That one looks very light, compared to other recipes I've looked at...decisions, decisions!
