I never let a bad rating make me not try a recipe, so I tried this one. I made 2 9inch rounds. One I had to throw out, the bottom was burnt. Although it said 400 I don't know what happened. The other I savaged and it tasted allright, and I have to admit I added more cocoa. Probably about an additional 1/4 which made it more chocolatey. I would suggest baking this at 350. I also would add more cocoa or use a premium grade I used Nestle.

I altered this recipe a bit and it was so delicious!I shredded the carrots with a stand up shredder and included all the juices. I also coudn't find crushed pineapple at T@#%@t so I bought cubed instead and pulsed it in a food processor. I added a little extra juice about three tablespoons to the batter.The cake was so moist and we ate half the cake in a day. I also cooled, iced the cake and stored it in the fridge,it's summer in CA it's too hot not to and who likes soggy cake? I nuked it a bit to soften the cream cheese icing when I served it. A glass of milk and I can't feel I feel this good without chocolate. I can't wait to make this again.

I made these for my daughter's luau/ 5th bday party. Everyone loved them especially the guests who came a day early on accident and ate while I was prepping them and ate some more the next day as well. My friends husband immediately asked me for the recipe. I baked them ahead of time and put them in the fridge for a quick reheat. (Perfect for an indoor BBQ) I also used regular 2 % milk for some of the milk instead of the sweetened condensed milk an added a tad more sugar (@ 2tsp). They were a little crisp on the top and a little soggy on the bottom. I can't wait to my nexr chance to make this easy make ahead bread!
