I took this in to work, went out of the office for 10min and it was gone -
Very good. I omitted the coconut and walnuts because we don't care for them. Other than that I made the recipe as is. It was easy to follow and easy to bake. It definantly needs to cook like the directions state. I will make this again. Thank you. -
My mother has also been making this recipe for years and it gets rave reviews every time!!!! -
My other carrot cakes have been dry and heavy, so I was drawn to this recipe. I also liked the fact that the juice of the pineapples is included, since most carrot cake recipes leave them out. This recipe definitely lives up to its name because it is moist and flavorful. It's quite a substantial cake - not fluffy and light. I recommend baking it for the required time. I only made half a recipe and baked it for 45 minutes, but it was still a bit underbaked, even if a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean. -
Everyone I have made this for loves it I have even been asked several times to make this for celebrations. Another thing I have found great about this cake It turns out just the same made Gluten Free (I have one very happy mother in law to prove it:)
