This was a good cake - I only made one and didn't stack the three since I only had one baking dish but I'd make it again.

I know I shouldn't review something if I haven't made the "original" version of it first, however I feel like this could be an exception. I read several other reviews on here saying how oily the cake is so I cut my oil back to 1 1/4 C instead of 1 1/2C and I didn't have an oil problem at all. And just for personal taste, I added a tablesoon of nutmeg and a tablespoon of allspice since the batter didn't have enough spice for me. What I got was an absolute winner. This cake was SO moist, flavorful, and perfect. Even the frosting was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.

I made cupcakes out of this recipe for Easter. They turned out great and super moist! I used 1 cup of applesauce and 1/2 cup of oil...not as oily. Everyone loved it. I plan on using this recipe again.

This was amazing! I made it for Easter and everyone loved it! I also adjusted the recipe and did 3/4 cup of vegetable oil and 3/4 cup of applesauce. The cake still came out moist and not oily like some carrot cake recipes I've tried. I also baked the cakes for 35 min and they came out perfect. I'll definately use this recipe again.

I made cupcakes out of this recipe, and they were great! I made them exact to the recipe, only I baked the cupcakes for 20 minutes. The recipe makes about 28 medium size cupcakes; however, the I did not have enough icing for all of them (truthfully, I probably could have made it work, but I like a lot of icing! This is a tasty, moist, and down-home traditional dessert!

I amde this cake for a contest at my job. Out of 12 desserts this came in second only because someone else also made a carrot cake with this recipe! It is easy and oh so tasty! It is also one of the few cakes frosting recipes that made more than enough frosting. This will become a new family tradition.

First time making a cake from scratch and it was so simple, no fancy ingredients to buy, everything was in my cupboard! I did use half oil and half applesauce after reading the other reviews. I made cupcakes instead and baked for 20 min. I didn't make the icing because I already had premade in the cupboard. Will be making this for every easter! Gotta love Paula!

This is a very moist and tastey carrot cake. I didn't modify the recipe. I don't know how people can make changes to the original and then comment on how good the original recipe was. The review should be on the original recipe, not how it was, after changes were made.
