The BEST carrot cake. LIKE EVER!

I am forever looking for a good carrot cake. FOREVER! I don't want one with weird things in it like nuts and pineapple and raisins. I wanted it to be moist but not so dense that you could kill someone if you threw it at them. Then my husband found this one that we tweaked a little bit and I do believe we have found the BEST carrot cake ever. Well, at least the best one I have ever had.
