I made this cake for a family Easter dinner. Everybody loved it. I left off the frosting (husband's request to try it with whipped topping. Great idea to cut a few calories and it was fabulous, although it would have been really good with frosting too....

This is an incredible recipe. The cake was moist and flavorful and has become my families favorite cake. My husband who normally does not like carrot cake even loved this cake. It was gone in 2 days! Grating the carrots on a box grater takes quite a bit of time especially if you have small carrots. Bigger carrots would probably be quicker and easier. I did it by hand rather than a food processor so the carrots would not be watery.

I LOVE this cake. It's super moist and flavorful and looks beautiful too! One thing I found when I made it was that 2 eight inch round pans DO NOT cut it; my cakes overflowed all over the oven. I made it again with 3 eight inch pans and it worked perfectly. Just remember to adjust your baking time a bit. Other than that, the cake is absolute perfection. Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! Definitely the best carrot cake recipe I've ever made.

love carrot cake... and made it this weekend and it came out terrific. I sprinkled confection sugar over the cake at the end.
Next time I will try adding the frosting. Very moist and will use this recipe again!

I agree that this is the best carrot cake ever. I made this as part of our Easter dinner and it got rave reviews. I used canned pineapple also in the batter. I will continue to use this recipe. I can't wait to make it again.

I used this recipe to make a bunny cake for Easter. People at the brunch were having second and third slices as they raved about it.

I also substituted half of the oil with unsweetened applesauce and it turned out great. It is the perfect blend of flavors. The frosting is to die for! I found that the recipe made way too much frosting, so you could probably half it. Or just make the entire recipe and freeze some for muffins later!

I was searching for the perfect carrot cake with all the works. After reading tons of recipes I found this one, and my search ended. This cake was soooo good, I probably ate half myself. I got a request from a family member to make this on Easter. This time I will completely cool cakes before frosting and I will make sure I add a thicker layer of frosting between the two cake (my family loves cream cheese frosting. This is a wonderful recipe, will be making this for a long time!

I made the cake for superbowl and the entire cake went. The only thing I didn't add was the raisins cause someone was coming who did not like them. The cake was moist and tall and the cream cheese frosting was the best ever. I am making this for Easter and hopefully planing to decorate with colored frosting. BEST EVER
