Carrot Walnut Bundt Cake

     I can barely type because I'm too busy patting myself on the back ...  :0  Anyhoo, this recipe is a real dandy, I just love Carrot Cake and can't believe how moist and dense it turned out.  Hope you will put this Carrot Walnut Bundt Cake on your "to do" list ... next on your list will be "patting yourself on the back" just like me!!!  Even better is the fact that for 1/12 of the frosted cake is 176.5 calories, 7g net carbs, and 16.5g protein  ;)
