This whole recipe is skewed. Taking sf's great CC recipe and doubling
doesn't use anywhere near 1/2 C baking pwdr and 1/4 C soda. Likewise,
short on the flour and 3 times the eggs. Actually, the carrots sound
right, considering no coconut or pineapple. Still, it's gotta be a joke or the
worst recipe ever. What!? No saltpeter? ...lol
