The cake is ok. I'm a newbie at baking and I've just started doing this as a hobby.
The icing was not what I expected. It was very runny and it made my cake slide from side to side while I was spreading it. Maybe I didn't do something right, like I said, I am a newbie. Overall had to bake another cake. I don't know if I will be using the same recipe but with a different type of icing or if I will go with another recipe. :o(

I also wanted to mention that I didn't add the ginger. I'm just not a fan...

Tasty cake. I added a handful of raisins and it came out just fine.

Cooked the cake for 20 minutes, 10 minutes on each rack.. the cake was pretty dry.. I'd recommend lowering the time a bit and then checking for doneness until you figure out the right timing. The icing was delicious, but there was a lot of it.

Ok, now that I have made this, I will give a proper review. I posted before about the recipe saying to mix in the ginger, but there was no ginger listed in the ingredients. Well I looked in my magazine and it is listed in there. It should be 1 teaspoon of ground ginger. So, I did find this cake slightly more dry than my other carrot cake recipe, but nothing too bad and everyone still loved it. The orange marmalade was a nice addition and I did swirl it into the top of the frosting too. I didn't think the spices were too bland of too overpowering. Those who thought it was bland maybe didn't add the ginger?

Unfortunately, this cake was very dry and I found it to be overly spicy. Very disappointing Easter dessert. I wouldn't be surprised if the next issue has an apology with an addendum to this recipe.

We made this for our Easter dessert. It was good, but not as delicious as others we've had or made. The cake was a bit dry and not as spicy as we hoped. Thought we'd try this recipe as the orange marmalade sounded like a nice addition, which it was. Aslo, we did like the smell and flavor of the toasted pecans and pulsing them in the food processor was a great idea.

I made this cake for my family's Easter lunch and it was delicious! Everyone loved it! The orange adds a lot, and the icing is delicious. I will definitely make this cake again.

This was more like a bland spice cake. Will not make this again.
