Carrot Bundt Cake

For Easter I wanted to make a cake...and I wanted it to be something fun for the holiday. When I first started putting together the recipe I used too many wet ingredients so I ended up with a really heavy cake. I was so upset with it that I ended up sending a good chunk of it home with friends (since when I'm not happy with something I rarely will eat any more of it). The neighbors were quite upset that I didn't keep any of it since they really enjoyed it so I told them if they would shred the carrots I would make another cake...only with different ingredients so that it would turn out like I had originally planned. For the second cake I used my White Cake recipe and then added the necessary ingredients to create this deliciously, moist, and light Carrot Cake! I hope you enjoy it!
