I made this with black walnuts for my husband and he absolutely loved it. It came out very moist.

Great recipe! It has the perfect amount of sweetness, not too fattening; it was moist and tastey. I added an extra tbsp of cinnamon, a half tsp of nutmeg, ginger and cloves and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice. I'm sure it would have been great without it but the extra spices gave it something. I added walnuts instead because I had them. I put it in a bunt pan cause it is nicer, and added powdered sugar insted of frosting the first tiem, because my family does not like creamed cheese frosting that much, and they could do without the extra calories. I also made it again with the frosting for a party to make it more glamorous, but nobody really liked it much with that frosting. But I think the frosting would be good perhaps if you were making it for children because they like the extra sweetness.

I made this cake for my father's birthday and no one could believe I made it. It tastes like you bought it from a high end bakery.

Excellent carrot cake. I thought it was going to be too much carrot but it wasnt. Batter will be very thick but it really was one of best I have ever made.

Great cake. Soaking the raisins in brandy or rum first enhances the flavour and plumps up the dired fruit.

Excellent Carrot Cake. I used a 9 X 13 pan and it worked well. I also would add a little more spice next time.

I made this cake a day ahead of time because I believe cakes taste better the next day. It was wonderful! I will say that I added 1/4tsp of ginger in addition to the cinnamon and I squeezed a good portion of the juice out of the carrots prior to adding the brown sugar. Once the carrots rested for the hour there was just a little juice that accompanied the carrots and I wasn't afraid to add the entire content of the bowl to the cake. The texture was wonderful and I don't see why I would need to make any additional changes. This was a moist and flavorful cake that would satisfy any carrot cake craving.

It's a wonderful recipe, I changed it though. I used half the oil and added a half cup of cinnamon apple sauce to it. Trying to make it a bit lighter, and of course less oily. I would make this again!

Loved it!! My husband practically ate the whole thing within a few days. Carrots do take awhile to grate by hand but I dont think I will do it any other way. I like to grate them super fine. I am making it again today

I found this recipe about a year ago, and made it for a friend's birthday. She LOVED it! In the past year I have made this probably 10 times, and have had people offer to pay for the ingredients so I can make it again and again! :) While, I LOVE this website, and have found MANY wonderful recipes, I have to say this is one of the BEST recipes I have come across. Thank you so much Nan, for sharing this fantastic recipes with all of us!!!

Made this cake again this time for a baby shower and it was a hit (again) with guests begging for the recipe. 5 stars each time! I wouldn't change a thing.

This carrot cake was very moist! It was almost like the melt-in-your-mouth experience biting into this fine use for veggies.! Now, I must inform you reader-of-reviews, I am a very hard critic of carrot cakes, it being my favorite, and this, despite the very high remarks and reviews, was not my favorite. I found it hard to be able to even identify the spices that I so dearly love in this cake. If you are not that in tune with nutmeg and cinnamon and all things spice, then I would highly recommend this cake for you!!! It is very mild in flavour and maybe even a nice cleanser for your palate after a very robust, flavorful meal. The frosting is very light and cool. I even mistook it for the ever-so-common Cool Whip or Whipped Topping. I would have liked to be able to taste more of the cream cheese, as this too is my favorite frosting. Overall, this cake is good and very eatable but I would have liked to find more flavour. Very good still, just not my favorite.

Either way you make this it's really good. I've tired it as is and it tasted great, similar to what you would get if you ate out. With all the suggestions it was really good too, but had more of a homemade taste to it. I've been asked to make this for everyone's birthday on my husbands side, including him and he hates sweets. Thank you so much for the great recipe.

I have made this cake at least for or five times and every time it is just like the title "Best Carrot Cake Ever." This is what I am told by everyone and I have to laugh because that's the name of it and I tell them that. It is the absolute best ever!!! I really don't like to give out the recipe, it's my secret. Great cake!!!
