I used 1/2 oil and replaced it with applesauce This was a good wholesome cake. I would not say it is healthy by any means but it was good. I had alot of batter too, and the 9x13 rose twice it's size but the cupcakes did not rise...weird but def good. Try it!

very good - used unsweetened apple butter for some of the oil (didn't have applesauce). Added walnuts.

Very good cake. I made it as is except I decreased the oil to 3/4 cup and added 3/4 cup of unsweetened apple sauce. I also baked it in 2 9' rounds for about 40 minutes. I know some people said there was too much icing but it was the perfect amount for a layer cake.

This recipe is almost identical to my mom's carrot cake recipe. It always gets rave reviews whenever I make it. The oil IS the right amount. It's supposed to be moist! And I have never had a problem with the oil sitting on the bottom of the pan? as some reviewers mentioned. So if you modify this recipe *sigh* then expect the cake not to come out as tasty as it should! And making the frosting from scratch is almost necessary! NO store-bought canned frosting! BLAH. If you are looking for a "healthy & low fat" cake, then pass this one by and make one out of tofu! Life is meant to be enjoyed and that means eating something delicious & sinful once in awhile!

This really is an Awesome carrot cake! Someone at my work made this cake and I thought it was so good that I asked her for the recipe and thats how I found out about this site. I was so excited to make a cake from scratch for the first time instead of using a box. It was easy and turned out great everyone loves this cake! I made the frosting one time but it is super sweet so I just buy the already made tub of cream cheese frosting and its cheaper.

Awesome!! with some changes!!!Left Out the Pineapple and pecans. Came out perfect, light, not to sweet, not even that oily. This is a good base recipe for anyone who wants to experiment and make it there own. For anyone who's complaining about the oil in it. I suggest eating it cold/ refrigerated, Not out of the oven.

I have made this recipe on several occasions for different friends and family and have never gotten anything but, great responses! I followed the recipe, not changing anything and it is great! The only thing is that it does take a little longer to bake than 30 or 40 minutes.

I made this cake exactly as the recipe is written and it was absolutly awesome. I did omit the extra pecans from the iceing though and I added a couple of tablespoons of water during the mixing of the iceing.It did take about fifty minutes to cook through.My family has already requested another one.I will definetly use this recipe again.

This is my husband's FAVORITE. I bake a lot and this is the ONE thing people always request again and again. I have always followed the suggestions here to reduce the oil to 3/4c. I have played around with the sugar quantity and also mixed brown and white sugar. It's always wonderful.

5 star recipe as written. 10 star recipe with one tiny little addition.... 1/2 tsp of orange flavoring (or 1 tsp grated orange peel) in the frosting. This is a bakery tip, don't try using orange juice, you won't taste that; use the orange essential oil found in the peel or Lor Ann orange flavoring. Awesome recipe!

Made the carrot cake exactly as recipe calls for. Like other reviewers stated, way too much oil. It was definately moist, but you could see the oil on the bottom of the glass dish! Not enough spices either, couldnt taste any! Hubby liked this only because of the thick layer of cream cheese frosting ( didnt use this recipes frosting but used "Cream Cheese Frosting II)- its excellent. As for the carrot cake, I will be trying another recipe.

I was looking for a c.c. recipe with pineapple and without coconut and raisins. This is a keeper! Yes, there is a high sugar and oil content, but this can be adjusted if necessary with applesauce for some of the oil. This cake is very moist, which is great! The only change I made was to omit the nuts in the frosting--there were enough in the cake itself. Great recipe!
