"Newly popular in the 60's"? I always heard it was invented by a guy who dehydrated foods of WWII, and had a bunch of dried carrots left over after the war ended, and experimented with his pre-war employer, putting it in different recipes until they tried it in cakes and had a hit.

This sounds super, however on January 18, 2012, I received an e-mail from you that included a Carrot Cake baked in a 10-cup bundt pan and served without frosting. I printed it, but the whole right side of the recipe was cut off, so I'm missing some of the instructions. How can I find this recipe again?? I've purchased everything I need for the cake, but am not certain how some of the instructions read.
