The most moist delicious carrot cake ever! The icing is amazing!!! I made this for my mom's birthday and everyone raved about it! Thanks for a great recipe!

This was my very first time baking and eating a carrot cake. It turned out wonderful! I added 1 cup of crushed pineapple to it. The only thing I would change next time is the amount of grated carrots, I am not a huge carrot fan so next time I will be adding just 1 cup. My Easter dinner guest devoured the entire cake. Thanks for posting this recipe.

I made this carrot cake for my mother and she loved it. Used low to no fat and cholesterol on the majority of the ingrediants and it came out tasting great. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a very good carrot cake, but for some reason, it wasn't as moist as I am used to.

Looks, the Easy Carrot Cake, to make. I'm delighted with it. I rated it # 4, cause my neighbor makes one that is Super Duper, but won't give out the recipe, for it. Does something differently, but don't know what. It is a better tasteing Carrot Cake. Can't find one yet to beat hers. Sorry. I think, it is the second best though.
