I really enjoyed this carrot cake. Very easy to prepare, however, I did add a variety mix of raisins I purchased at Trader Joe's. I also used 8 ounces of Mascarpone cheese along with 1 8 ounce pkg of Cream Cheese, naturally I could have decreased the cream cheese however, I added 1/3 cup more powdered sugar (played it by ear really and did not use margarine but real butter. It was fantastic. I made individual cakes in small spring form pans and will be making these delicious cakes very soon. Excellent recipe, thanks for posting.

This is a pretty good and easy to follow recipe. However, when I bake it again, I will for sure reduce the cooking time! I only used two pans and yet , it was almost burnt at 50 minutes. I would reduce the time by 5-7minutes.
The frosting is so delish!
Will use this recipe again.
Also, greasing the pan with both butter and oil is the key! Came out perfectly!!

very good cake.
excellent cake. I folllowed the recipe exactly and it came out perfect. i did leave the cake layers in the pan and refrigerated it over night. Very moist cake. I did add lemon juice and zest to the frosting giving it a little extra flavor.

I have made this recipe twice, once leaving the cakes in the pans upside down overnight as directed, and once just letting them cool on wire racks for a couple of hours before frosting. Although the cakes left upside down were moister, it was not enough of a difference to justify the hassle of having cakes taking up counter space for a day. If I cooled them upside down again, I would have put them in the freezer for a few minutes before frosting--they were so moist that the sides wanted to crumble off during frosting.

I added extra nuts and raisins to this recipe with good results. I also modified the frosting, but using 1 lb. of powdered sugar instead of 1.5 lbs. and my guests agreed that it didn't need to be sweeter. I also added juice from half a lemon to give it a fresh zip. This was a big hit and I got several recipe requests, so I'll be making it again.

Loved it! Family loved it! My in-laws thought it came from a bakery. Added raisins to the recipe and it was a nice touch.

This was such a good carrot cake recipe! I did not let it sit over night and it was fine. Just be sure to use wax paper in the pan and grease/flour pan (also on top of wax paper. I put the cooked pans in the freezer for 10 to 15 min before frosting also. This was pretty easy and a keeper!

This is the best carrot cake recipe I have ever used. I used a 13X9 pan. I used organic whole spelt flour, grapeseed oil, and organic cane sugar. I also used organic butter instead of the margarine and added a few drops of orange juice to the frosting. Using the whole spelt flour made the cake a little more dense but that was fine. Got rave reviews from everyone in the family and my father-in-law even had two large pieces. I will make this every holiday.
