    This is the best carrot cake I have ever had. It's the first one I've ever made myself and everyone (family and colleagues loved it. A couple amendments/additions to the instructions:
    1. Grease the sides of the pans but line the bottoms with parchment paper. My cake layers came right out, no problem.
    2. There aren't really any instructions regarding combining the frosting ingredients. I combined the cream cheese and margarine together and then slowly added the powdered sugar, mixing in the vanilla at the very end. Worked great.
    3. I deviated slightly from the recipe, using all purpose whole wheat flour instead of pastry flour. Still delicious.

    I tried making this cake for the first time and couldn't get all three layers out of the pans. I used Calphalon baking pans and greased heavily. I ended up not having any desert for my family after they were so much anticipating it, I was so disappointed. The cake itself tastes delicious. I will try it again and next time use parchment paper in the pan like someone else suggested. I was wondering if that part was missing in the recipe because part of it says to "remove paper from bottom of layer cake". I couldn't figure out what that meant. What paper???????

    Any time I want to show some love, I bake this carrot cake recipe and not only does the recipient feel it but everyone who gets a slice puts in their request that they need my love too!

    This cake is absolutely amazing. I have become known for my carrot cake. Every time I am invited to a party this carrot cake is a request! Highly recommended. Just keep in mind that the layers must sit at least one day before frosting so leave yourself enough time before you need it. I eliminated the nuts from the cake and only put them on the outsides of the frosting because I felt it ruined the consistency of the cake. ENJOY!

    I have baked many carrot cakes before, but never really enjoy them because they were either too dry, too sweet or too oily. I watch food network all the time and decided to look for a recipe online and i found this one. It was great the cake was just moist enough and taste great. This is the only carrot cake recipe i'll use from now on............

    This is by far the best recipe for carrot cake I have had. I only made *minor* changes by using pecans instead of walnuts and adding 1/4 teaspoon each ground cardamom and allspice in addition to the cinnamon.
    This got raves from all around; I was told to start selling the cakes by one coworker!
    Word of advice: Don't use this icing recipe. I used a different one as the results of this one are too sweet in my opinion.

    This is the best cake ever. I am rookie baker and my family thought I bought this cake. They did not believe I made it. Thanks for making me look good. My wife thanks you

    This is my husbands favorite cake. I add 1tsp vanilla for extra flavor, and sprinkle the toasted walnuts on top for a great crunch. If you are short on time 12hr wait will do just fine. Also put parchment paper on the bottom, it stuck on me twice after putting butter and flour on it well.
