Not impressed by this recipe at all. Kind of bland. Not very interesting despite all of the different ingredients. Also of note is the recipe for the cream cheese icing. Not nearly enough. A six layer cake (as instructed by the recipe would never be possible with the quantity made.

I substituted 2 cups of oil for one cup of unsalted semi-melted butter plus 1 cup of natural chunky applessauce. I substituted 1 2/3 cup of the sugar for splenda. I doubled this frosting recipe. Icing:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 pound cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups icing sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1t vanilla

This recipe conversion cannot be right! I followed to the letter and the cake was flat in the center and burned on the outside. Very oily as well! Does it really need 2 cups of oil??

This was a great tasting cake, nice and moist. Watch the edges, they were a little dry. Makes enough cake for about 20 people!

My family says that this is the best cake that I have ever made!!! My husband says that it has replaced his all time favorite of yellow cake with chocolate icing, and I can make it for his birthday, too!!The recipe was easy to follow, simple to prepare, and only slightly difficult to handle after cutting layers. It's very moist and flavorful!!! Loved it.

This carrot cake recipe is incredible! I also added 1/2 teaspoon of finely nutmeg. My family loves this recipe, specially at the Holidays.

This cake turned out very moist and not too sweet, with just the right blend of textures from the raisins and walnuts to the creamy frosting.

I love this cake. I make it for parties all the time and it's a big hit. The frosting though is not enough for the amount of cake this recipe makes, I usually double the recipe since cream cheese frosting is such a hit.

I've made this recipe 3 times. The first time the recipe made a 13x9 and an 8x8 cake. The second time I made 7 small "loaves" the third time I made the 10" cake pans.

The majority said it was the best carrot cake they ever had.

I do alter the recipe a bit. I add a cup of raisins and coconut, three cups of carrots and about two cups of walnuts. The cream cheese frosting I use 3 bars of Philadelphia cream cheese, 1-2 tablespoons butter, vanilla and 3-4 cups powdered sugar. It turns out perfect.
