I thought this was good but my husband who grew up with this stuff didn't think it was quite right. I think the one thing I did wrong was use fruit in light syrup...he's definitely a heavy syrup kind of guy. LOL

This was quite tasty! I did make a heavy cream substitution because I did not have heavy cream, the only fault I found with doing this is that the butter made the dish greasy. Maybe next time, I'll leave the butter out and just use milk or try it made with buttermilk. I always have dry buttermilk in the fridge and don't ever buy heavy cream. I made this a couple of nights ago and I am wanting to make more. I do think the sauce could have used a small amount of flour to bind everything together a little bit more, but it could be that the butter (grease) was causing it separate. Overall....I really enjoyed it!

I made the cream cheese frosting II to put on this and halved the recipe as some others have done. I liked that frosting because it had less sugar in it but I did increase the vanilla to 1 1/2 teaspoons to balance out the cream cheese tang. Cutting that recipe in half was just enough for this carrot cake!
