  1. I never go back to make comments after using a recipe but this cake was deeeellicciouss!!! I love how you include the whole kitchen sink - Carrot overload, pineapples, walnuts, raisins, coconut... All make it so moist!! I was also on the hunt for a recipe that used butter as most use oil. This was delicious!
     
  2. Loved it! Not a huge fan of carrot cake to begin with, but I think that the combo of fun ingredients and a good icing was enjoyable.
     
  3. This carrot cake is awesome!!! It is so moist. The pineapple was a great addition over my previous recipe. Everyone absolutely loved it. So moist and delicious. Will definitely make it many times over!! This is already the second time in less than a month I have been asked to make it!!
     
  4. Ech! I tried it, my son tried it and we both agreed. It ended up in the garbage. Did not grow, the soaked raisins were so soft and mushy it was disgusting biting into one of them. Coconut was overpowering. Waste of ingredients. I found other recipes that suggested squeezing excess moisture out of the grated carrots. This one did not. Sickening sweet. Not for us.
     
  5. Fantastically delicious, moist, morish. Just wonderful. The entire family love it. I used less sugar in the frosting than recommended (just ran out!) and it was absolutely delicous non the less.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I like to bake bread and pizza; Mostly on baking stones. For my 50th birthday my family took me on a mystery ride to the King Arthur Flour shop in Vermont, where I bought a deep dish pizza pan. Now I'll be baking my first pizza in a pan, not on a stone!
