    Intended to make this wonderful-sounding cake for Christmas gifts, but the taste was totally unlike any other Carrot Cake I'd ever tasted...not in a good way! Usually, I enjoy most of the Foodnetwork recipes, but this one wasn't up to par for me.

    I used a few drops of pure Anise oil for fennel seeds and 1/4 cup of dried cranberries. Spenda doen't affect the taste.

    Not overwhelmingly sweet. Good flavor and freshness that lasted a week. Great texture for a cake. I used my bundt pan and it baked just fine. It is not a sweet dessert like a birthday cake. But it is excellent if you like a moist cake with rich flavors. I will difinintely make it again.

    This carrot cake is truely outstanding. The lemon and fennel seeds really give it some surprising tastes and it is SUPER moist. It certainly takes a bit more time to make than your classic carrot cake, but it is worth the effort.

    The fennel seeds, mascapone cheese and pinenuts in this recipe give the cake a very pleasant and unique flavor. It was easy to make and turned out great!

    i was immediately ready to try this recipe after watching giada make it. i'm not usually a fan of carrot cake, but i was intrigued by the pine nuts and fennel seeds that she added to the mix. it turned out lovely. i did sub cream cheese for the mascarpone and an orange for the lemon, as i had those on hand. i made mini-cakes and muffins, and both were great. it's a nice, moist, fluffy cake. and since you puree the carrots, it's not too "gritty" like some carrot cakes can be. i would definitely make these again.
