Egg less Carrot Cake with Dreamy Creamy white Frosting

This is a classic carrot cake recipe .The cake is well balanced in terms of  sugar and spice.I have made few changes to original recipe. I have replaced eggs with milk ,flour and water and the original recipe is two layered cake with frosting in between the layers and on the top.So the recipe called for making of two 9/2 inch round cakes but I have reduced the every ingredient to half and made one cake with frosting only on top .
