Marla Gibbs' Carrot Cake

I got the original recipe from Celebrity Chefs when Marla Gibbs was a guest about 30 years ago. Your ingredients list doesn't correspond to the directions. It should say 1 1/2 tsp baking soda and not "salt". That much salt is way too much. Also, I cut the powdered sugar in the frosting in half because the amount called for is WAY TOO SWEET - and I added some fresh lemon juice and grated lemon peel. It makes for a much better cake which everyone raves about.
