  Date: Fri, 13 Nov 1992 21:45:54 GMT This is my favorite Carrot Cake
  recipe...it comes out very moist and the icing is delicious.
  
  In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar
  until mixture is light and fluffy. Add the cinnamon, lemon rind, and
  nutmeg. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. Into a large bowl, sift
  together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture
  alternately with the orange juice, beginning and ending with the
  flour mixture. Stir in the carrots nuts and vanilla. Pour the batter
  into a greased and floured 9"x12" pan (or 10" tube pan) and bake at
  350 degreesF for 45-60 minutes or until the cake tests done. Let the
  cake cool and ice with Cream Cheese Icing. Serves 14-16.
  
  Cream Cheese Icing: In a bowl, cream together the cream and butter.
  Slowly add the confectioners sugar and vanilla and blend until the
  mixture is smooth. Spread icing on a cooled cake.
