Cinnamon - 2 tsp.

This is soooo yummy! I thought 1 1/2 cup oil was to much, so I put 1 1/4 cup. I also didn't have any crushed pineapple, so I used 2 of the small lunch pack sized containers, and put it into my magic bullet to mix it up a bit. Also, I only used 3 cups of confectioners sugar, which I thought was PLENTY, as my mixer had a hard enough time mixing... YUMMMMMMY!

This carrot cake truly is awesome. Nice and moist. Everyone loved it, even those who said they use do not like carrot cake enjoyed this. I left out the nuts since hubby is allergic but threw in a couple handfuls of raisins instead. One note, my oven temp is pretty accurate and it took about 20 min longer to bake than the receipe indicated using a 9x13" pan.

This is a good flavored cake. The icing is a little sweet for my taste. I added a splash of milk, because it was so thick that my mixer could barely keep up with it. Then I used about 2/3 of the icing recipe for a 9x13 cake.

Very good. I had no problems with oiliness, although I did use half oil and half applesauce. I also added coconut. I halved the recipe and baked it in a 8x8 baking dish, since it was only for me and hubby and 3 year old. This took longer to cook, but I just kept testing it with a tooth pick and adding 3 minutes until it was cooked all the way. Very good. And the frosting was outstanding - I was surprised there was any left to put on the cake! :)

When I was making this cake, I was surprised that the recipes calls for 1 1/2 cups of oil. I thought I had read it wrong, and had to read the measurements a couple of times to be sure that I was reading it right. Anyway, I followed the recipe to the T. When the cake was done I thought that it was on the oily side, but it was moist and very tasty! I think I will reduce the oil to 1 1/4 cups and squeeze out the pineapple juice the next time I make this cake. I didn't use the cream cheese frosting recipe that came with this recipe. I used the Cream Cheese Frosting II recipe which was really good. It was sweet, but not icky sweet.

I did a round layer for this recipe and it did not seem to have enough body, I think that if you were transpose the flour/carrots measurements it would come out better, other wise it had good taste but the cake did not get done in the center.

good...but a bit dry

I made a few modifications that is why I gave it only 4 stars. Definitely use only 1 cup of oil. I like spicier cake so I also added some pumpkin spice. This cake is so easy to make-just dump everything into the bowl and stir. This one is a keeper.

It's my sisters Birthday. I have NO gift for her. Came across this recipe. Never made Carrot Cake w/Cream Cheese frosting in my life! Just happen to have all the ingredents so I got to work really fast. Presented my gift of "Awesome Carrot Cake w/Cream Cheese Frosting" to my sister. It was the only birthday cake and come to my surprise Carrot Cake w/ Cream Cheese Frosting was her all time favorite. Thanks so much for the recipe! I received great reviews from all and felt so much better that I had a Gift to Give!And PS: Followed Recipe as stated.

Awesome it is. I have done this recipe so many times with great success. I never reduce the oil - it does come out very moist with both the crushed pineapple and oil. It never felt too much as others seem to say. The only difference is, I don't use cream cheese frosting! I put whipped cream instead - and since that is light and fluffy, it makes up for the dense cake.

Made this as written and found it to be very oily. I still thought it was good, very tasty. It can be improved, though. I am going to try some of the suggestions.

THis carrot cake is brilliant. Its easy to make and quick too. Watch out because it does stick to the tray once you remove it from the pan. you might want to sprinkle some sugar on the tray before putting the cake on it.

I HAVE BEEN USING THIS RECIPIE FOR TWO YEARS NOW I AM NOT ALLOWED TO GO TO CHURCH POTLUCK WITHOUT IT IT IS ALL IAM ALLOWED TO BRING I EVEN GET ASKED IN THE WELCOME PERIOD OF OUR CHURCH SERVICE "DID YOU BRING THE CAKE?" I DID HOWEVER CUT THE OIL IN HALF AND NOW I ONLY USE UNSWEETNED APPLESAUCE INSTEAD OF THE OIL IT REALLY IS AWESOME CARROT CAKE AMD I ALSO ADD RAISINS AND WALNUTS INSTEAD OF PECANS

I enjoy making this. I do not like carrot cakes but I will eat this one. I use fresh carrots and fresh pinapples. I love it.

Have made this multiple times now and get rave reviews every time! I've made this into cupcakes as well and they turn out great (same temperature but bake for about 15 - 20 minutes)...I modified it my second time around by using 3/4 cup white sugar and 3/4 cup brown sugar and omitting the oil and replacing it with unsweetened applesauce...much healthier and a better cake!!!!!
