  1. I love carrot cake, & when in a restaurant where they have it, I usually order a piece, just to see how it stacks up! Most such cakes are somewhat dry, I think, & NEED the cream cheese frosting to help make up for that! This cake doesn't actually need the frosting, 'cause the cake itself is MOIST & TASTY! Still, I made the frosting, but with only 3/4 lb of powdered sugar! Thanks for sharing your great recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's Pick-A-Chef]
     
  2. This is the best carrot cake I've yet to have. Most certainly the best one I've ever made. The recipe was very easy to make. The resulting cake was wonderfully moist - even the next day. I added chopped black walnuts to the icing right before frosting the cake. The icing is a little sweeter than I prefer, but overall it was an excellent dessert! A keeper!
     
  3. This is a great cake! I made a couple of changes to the recipe--replaced the oil with unsalted butter and it makes the cake much lighter and suitable for 2 nine inch layers. Just as good, though!
