I luv carrot cake so much (˶>⩊

Carrot cake is my favorite thing in the world (˶ˆᗜˆ˵) if I could, I'd eat it every day, all the time. I've wanted to make it, but I just can't find a good recipe. Or maybe it's just the way I make it, haha, but I don't understand. I follow the recipe exactly as instructed in every cookbook I've found, and it always comes out raw in the middle and burnt on the outside. I've seen other recipes that don't require an oven, but they taste awful. If anyone has any tips, I'd really appreciate it (╥﹏╥)
