minibake: carrot cake

I marked my weekly schedule to discipline myself to bake at least twice a week after I'm done with my classes; or else the efforts of paying so much to attend a class will just gone wasted.This is my 3rd bake on my own without guidance; but the first one that I shoot for remembrance.
Carrot Cake
Gosh.. I actually find that shredding carrot is so tiring. Perhaps I should get myself a food processor. :-\
After I'm done shredding the carrots, I need to cut the prunes into small sizes, resize the walnut to a smaller size and also blend the cinnamon into powder form. I took almost 1 hour doing the cutting, shredding, blending part.. @@
And there after carefully follow the step by step I'd learn and into the oven it goes.
Final product.. tada!~ satisfy. The prunes, raisins, shredded carrots, walnuts did not sink to the bottom like my previous try :)
But.. but.. the cake does not rise. I'm not sure does it suppose to rise or not. And it's kind of too moist.
Some said it's too sweet, some say tasty .. anyway.. I'm thinking to re-adjust the formulation again :)
