  1. This makes a fabulous carrot cake! I nix the pineapple and coconut, as they're not really my style, and frost with homemade cream cheese frosting (1/2 c butter, 8 oz cream cheese, 4 c powdered sugar, 2 t vanilla). Delish!
     
  2. This is the best carrot cake that I have ever made or eaten! I followed the recipe to a tee, other than adding a few raisins that I had left over and subbed some apple sauce for some of the oil. I frosted it with a whipped cream cream cheese frosting which was not too sweet and it was a perfect combination. Will make this often due to the request of my husband who is not a sweets person. He ate this up however! Thank you so much for sharing!
     
  3. KUDOS! This is the MOTHER of all carrot cakes recipe's. I am getting ready to make my 3rd carrot cake in less than 1 month. My friends and co-workers can not get enough of this cake. Thank you!
     
  4. This is the best carrot cake ever i want to thank you for posting and sharing it with us all.
     
  5. Can't tell you what a hit this cake was. I made a graduation cake. Two 8" cake rounds and then Cream Cheese Icing. Everyone could not stop talking about it being the best carrot cake they ever had. Have placed it in my cookbook and will always be using it! Thanks for sharing!

  2. Moist and not too sweet. Instead of sugar I used 1 cup of sugar/Splenda blend. The flour was unbleached. I also substituted 1 cup dried apricots/apples for the nuts due to allergies. Next time I make it, however, I will use only 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp Sunsweet "Lighter Bake". Cool Whip makes a really good topping for this cake!!
