I love this easy carrot cake, I use 1 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour and only use 1 1/2 cup of sugar .

I tried this with all-purpose flour and it was like the other lady said clumps of batter instead of smooth I ended up throwing it out and using a different recipe.

Very nice, very simple. Yes, the batter might seem dry at first because the carrots will add so much moisture. If it's dry, try adding a little more carrot or grating it finer, and definitely use an electric mixer for this one. I made mini cupcakes & will bake them at 350° next time. This is my new go-to recipe for carrot cake!

I don't know what the last person did wrong but my 13 year old made this cake for Easter dinner and it was fantastic very moist and tons of flavor. She frosted it with cream cheese frosting but it would have been fine with nothing on top it was so good. Everyone complimented her on the cake. It was kind of fun to say we had a Cake Boss cake for Easter.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my batter was so dry that it was more like chunks of damp batter balls than an actual carrot cake batter. When I compared this recipe to others, I saw that most carrot cake recipes call for like half a cup of oil, while this one called for two tablespoons, so I added more oil. It still didn't yield what I would expect for two cake pans' worth of batter, but they are in the oven and I am not really feeling particularly optimistic about this one....

I enjoyed the carrot cake, this is coming from a person who does not eat carrot cake. On the other hand my husband loves carrot cake and he enjoy the cake. I made three small adjustment and I added 1/2 cup more of flour, and lined the baking pan with foil and melted the butter to be used for the pan.
