I made this for a baby shower so I used a 16 inch pan. 1 1/2 times the batter filled the pan and made a few cupcakes. The baking time is perfect for the big pan. The cake is moist and totally delicious. I added some extra cinnamon and toasted pecans instead of walnuts. But other than that followed everything to a T. Because of the heaviness of the ingredients and not much leavening I expected to have altitude issues (we're above 6000 ft but I had none. This is the best carrot cake I've had. And everyone now thinks I'm some great baker! I will be making it again!

I gave it a four star because the time for baking is way off. Thankfully I was in the kitchen and could tell by the smell of the cake that it had overbaked. I took it out at 45 minutes. I was so disappointed because carrot cake is my husband's favorite cake and I don't make it very often. Also, it is an expensive cake to make with all of the ingredients.

One of the best Carrot Cakes I have ever baked! My fiance could eat Carrot Cake daily if I baked that often. He was in heaven when he tried this one. I agree with the review made by MizKelly though; I cut down the cooking time to 25 minutes and it was perfect.

So I usually love Ina's recipes, especially her lemon cake (that's my fiance's favorite cake of all time. He also loves carrot cake, but after trying countless carrot cake recipes on food network, I eventually gave up. Today is his birthday so I thought I would try Ina's and once again, I am disappointed. I followed the recipe exactly. I popped it in the oven, checked on it 30 minutes in and and was over baked and nearly burnt. The recipe calls for 50-60 minutes. The cake was flavorful, but extremely dry.


UPDATE.

I had extra time and so I decided to give this recipe another go considering the flavors were there. This time, I took it out after 25 minutes and it was moist and delicious. I finally found a good recipe. My fiance loved it and I'm so happy. Thanks Ina!!

I made this cake for my husband's birthday because he loves carrot cake. I have found a winner! This cake is like the one my mother maked when I was a child. The pineapples are a must. Cake is moist and very flavorful. I modifiy the icing by adding powdered sugar to taste. I am no where near a pound of sugar. This is a keeper that I am teaching my daughter today. Thanks, Ina for another great cake.

My Husband's Favorite Cake is Carrot. I made this for His Birthday. He called Our Boston & Chicago Daughters' and told them his Cake was the BEST Carrot Cake he ever tasted. My next lifetime, I hope I return as Ina Garten. I never fail, when I use Ina's recipes.
