Excellent and easy receipe. I just bloomed the rasins by adding them to my favorite alcohol to soak for an added treat. No kids here. Moist and perfect. Great job Ina.

Made this cake for my husband's birthday last week and he loved it. Followed the recipe except substituted the raisins with dried cranberries. I don't care for raisins anyway. Cranberries worked great. Very easy to make, but like most people here, I cut the baking time. Pulled it out of the oven after 30 min because the tops were getting brown already, but I was really afraid that the inside may not be fully baked. Actually turned out perfect. Very moist & delicious! For some reason I had a ton of icing left over and I caked it on (no pun intended!. I also thought the icing was extremely sweet, but I have a major sweet tooth, so that wasn't a problem for me. However, I could see how some people may think it's too sweet. Overall, the cake was a success and I'll definitely be making it again!

This cake was easy to make and it tasted amazing. Even people who don't think they like carrot cake will love how moist and flavorful this cake is. Pay close attention while yours is in the oven. I only left mine in for about half of the recommended time.

Delicious and easy recipe. I left out the raisins and it was still very good. Icing was the perfect amount for the cake and it was a good balance of sweet and cheesy. Make sure you use fresh pineapple. Canned would not be nearly as good.

Wonderful!!!! This cake was the perfect texture. It was moist, but did not taste super "oily". I only baked it for 50 minutes based on the other reviews, and it came out perfectly. I used golden raisins, and added 3/4 cup of pineapple instead of 1/2 cup. Although I liked the frosting, it was a bit on the heavy side--because the cake itself is so hearty, next time I'll whip up a lighter cream cheese frosting. Thanks, Ina!

Wow, so sorry that person had a bad experience with making this cake. I have watched Ina bake this cake on FoodTV several times and watched her make it on the video. I followed the directions and measurements exactly. This cake and her Coconut cake are the absolute best I have ever had. My husband, who does NOT eat sweets will ONLY eat the carrot cake and this one only. We love it. Moist and delicious.

I make this cake with the following changes: 1 1/2 c. brown sugar, only 1/2 veg. oil & 1/4 c. applesauce, 3/4 c. buttermilk, 3 cups grated organic carrots, 2 tsp. pure vanilla, sifted 2 c. flour, only 1/2 tsp. salt, pecans instead of walnuts and 1 cup of baker's coconut. All other ingredients the same. It takes longer to cook in a 9x13 pan about 50 - 60 minutes. Check with a toothpick. It's the bomb with cream cheese frosting!

This is the worse of the worse! I would not even give the cake one star if I had that option. I am not a beginner this cake is tasteless and dry as shoe leather. The time and money spent is "senseless". I am so disgusted with it. The garbage can is the receiver of this cake.A good carrot cake is moist. I followed the directions to the tea. I cannot understand whoever would give this 5 stars let alone any star. Big tip if the readers want a excellent carrot and pineapple cake go to "SHERMANS DELI" in Palm Springs, Calif. now that is how it should be done. Make the trip is worth it. Sorry I have to be truthful on this.
