This cake was interesting to make and tasted great. My family loved it and thought it was just like the dense rich cake you get in a fine restaurant. The only modification I would make next time is to reduce the amount of nuts. I searched high and low for a carrot cake recipe that I thought would be perfect and this was pretty close....try it!




moist & very good

This is a very good recipe! So easy to make. It is very moist and has a heavy rice texture. I will be making this over and over. I would recommend it to anyone!




Big hit at the party

I made this cake the first time and it was a big hit at the party. I'll make it again with a couple of revisions - make a bit less icing (tasty good stuff but way too much for just the top and filling) , use a bit more pinapple and walnuts in the cake, decorate with walnuts on top along with the pinapple, let the icing cool a bit more time in the refrigerator (it was a hot summer day when I made the cake and 20 min. was not nearly enough) and bake 5 minites less for moister cake(I use thick commerical grade bake ware which will bake a bit faster).




Great Cake

My dad loves carrot cake so I usually make a few each year. I decided to give this recipe a try and it is hands down the best I ever made! I did use one of my standby recipes for the frosting but added the lemon zest and pineapple from this recipe and it was so delicious:)

This is the first time I have made a carrot cake and it turned out very well. I did alter it slightly to make it vegan, but even so, it was very moist inside and had a nice flavor. I definitely recommend it.




presentation wonderful

discrepancy

There is a discrepancy in the amount of flour listed. The ingredient list says 2 1/4 cups, however, 1/2 cup is used to coat walnuts, etc. then another 1 1/2 cups flour to be wisked. There is 1/4 extra cup. Please explain.

This cake was good. My cake was done in about 38 minutes. The icing was delicious. In addition to the lemon zest, I squeezed the juice from half the lemon. Next time I will use less sugar in the icing, as it turned out way too sweet.




Great Light Carrot Cake

I just baked this carrot cake and took a pinch of the top. Yummy! Even without the icing. The icing is perfect! Not too sweet. This will be a keeper! Bermuda Baker

Finally, a carrot cake recipe with no raisins !! This cake is dense, moist and delicious. I baked it in a 9x13 pan and used only a half stick of butter with approx. 1 cup of powdered sugar for the frosting. I'm always testing new recipes with my co-workers and this one received 'bravos' !!




Delicious

The cake flavor and texture was wonderful. However, I made it at the "last minute" and it probably did not cool long enough. After putting all that icing on it, it collapsed! Lesson: let cool thoroughly. I also felt that half the amount of icing would be plenty, since none is used on the sides. After all that everyone at the birthday party still enjoyed - we used a spoon instead of a knife.... :)




Yummy!

I made this for my husbands 30th birthday. Our family loved it and heard nothing but great reviews. I only had 4 of the 8oz of baby food carrots, so I used 4oz of mango baby food as well. I also decided not to put the pineapple in between the 2 layers and used walnuts on top of the cake. I highly recommend this! Enjoy!




Perfect

I made this cake for Easter. It turned out better then I could have dreamed of. The frosting was amazing and the cake was very moist and delicious. I highly recommend this cake. Your guests will be impressed. I used 8inch round cakes. That worked out just fine.




Great For Carrot Cake Lovers!

I'm not a big carrot cake fan but I thought that the pineapple made it taste delicious! We had it at Easter and loved it!




Pretty good, but I expected better

This carrot cake was good for the most part, and I enjoyed the addition of pineapple to the traditional recipe. However, the texture of the carrot cake was a little dry (I don't know if that was something I did, or the recipe itself). Also, I felt like I could taste the baby-food carrot puree' and that wasn't so good either. I probably won't make this again. The creamcheese icing recipe was DELICIOUS though, that's a keeper!!!!




yummy and moist

i will use this recipe over and over again! next time i'd chop the nuts and bit and not put pineapple between the cakes. i'm definitely going to try to use the batter for cupcakes.
