    This is one of the best recipe for carrot cake that I have ever made for friends and family. I make it for many of my co-workers. Only problem I ran into is 325 degree in the oven wasnt the correct temperature for my oven b/c due to the oil the cake was two heavy. I had to adjust the oven to 350 this came out better but I still some times have a dip in the middle of the cake. Any suggestion? Nevertheless the cake it wonderful.

    I used about a cup of pumpkin instead of the carrots and it was the most delicious moist "pumpkin cake" I have ever had. Great recipe Paula!!

    I have a similar carrot cake recipe- mine also calls for a small can of crushed pineapple, drained and 1/2 cup of coconut added to the batter at the end, by hand with your spatula, makes an even more moist cake. For those that like pineapple and coconut. Always received compliments on this cake.

    Usually I make paula deen's recipes they are a little overly sweet or alot of butter...LOL.....But this recipe was FANTASTIC!!! I did shred 2 med sized carrots into the final batter and when i frosted it I added almonds for decoration on the sides. I made 2 cakes within 4 days just because it was such a hit for my family and friends!! I am def. putting this recipe in my book!!! i also posted this recipe on my webpages!!! Everyone needs to try it, I know some people reviewed it to be to sweet but its really not its perfect in every way!!!!!

    ive made this cake about 10 times so far this year for holidays, birthdays and office dinners, and everytime it has turned out perfect, as for calvin in rockford,mn, get a life and for bianca in ap, either something is wrong with your ingredients, ie-old flour, overmixing, of something is wrong with your method, the recipe is great.

    This was hands down THE best carrot cake I have ever eaten. It was simple to make. BEWARE, as soon as we ate the cake, the family made me make ANOTHER one that same night! It's THAT GOOD!!!

    I renamed this cake "Sweet baby Jake" for my son, Jacob.
    I looked at many reviews that said it called for two much oil, so I decided to do 1 cup. I should have done the whole thing. I had problems with the cake sticking to the pan when I was trying to transfer it to the waxed paper. Also, make SURE that you are greasing the pan very very well. Also, I might skip the flour dusting or just do a VERY minimal dust because my cake would not come out of the pan for anything. At least one of them worked and that became the top.

    Also, I added 1/2 cup of shredded carrot. It was not enough. I suggest to add more and also add some of the other ingredients that the other people are suggesting like the white raisins etc...
    The frosting is simple and amazing. Its not too sweet.

    All in all, I think I would definately make this again, especially around holidays because it resembles a spice cake but in a good way.

    I made this cake for my son's baptism. I did a practice one first, following the recipe exactly. It was good, but did not taste like carrot cake...more like a spice cake. I added more baby food carrots and also some grated carrots and than it tasted more carroty. The frosting was fabulous and made the whole recipe. Would definitely make again.

    I made these for my brother in law's birthday (James. Doubled the recipe and made 4 dozen cupcakes. Added raisins and dried apricots soaked in milk, finely chopped pecans, and added ginger and nutmeg. They came out absolutely fabulous. Very moist and smooth. My sister who does not like carrot cake could not stop eating them.
