Decent recipe. Using jars of baby carrots saves a lot of time and work as well. Took more like 30 minutes (not 20) to bake, and my oven's spot on. I heeded other's advice and substituted some of the oil (canola) with unsweetened applesauce - 1/2 cup to be exact. I'll go more if not all applesauce in the future. Maybe that impacted the bake time? These aren't really 'bars', though - it's more of a carrot sheet cake. Good flavor and moist. Great way to make a large amount for a party and to get kids to eat some carrots.

I have made this for several years. I used to take it to work. They fought over the last few pieces. I frost with the Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting on this site.

I did not care for this. The taste is very carrot baby food.

Tastes great and has a nice texture-I added 1/2 cup pecans and a 1/2 cup of coconut to the batter-mine took more like 25 minutes to bake.

This is such an easy recipe and tastes great too! I used less sugar and added a pinch of nutmeg. I used pecans in the past as well. Cream cheese frosting is a must!

I thought this was an easy and delicious recipe. The flavor is MUCH better the second day, so I'd suggest making it a day ahead. I needed desserts for two different Easter parties, and this recipe made enough for both! I used half egg substitute and half eggs, substituted unsweetened applesauce for half of the oil, and used Splenda instead of half the sugar. No one was the wiser, and the cake was still very moist and flavorful. I topped it with a basic cream cheese frosting. I cut it into squares, and it was definitely more of a cake than a bar. I definitely recommend this quick and simple recipe!

Wonderful when baked in a jelly roll pan, as directed -- they always turn out wonderfully. I tried to make a layer cake for Easter, but will try another recipe next time - mine fell apart when I took them out of the pans.

Let me say up, this is a very good recipe as far as ease of preparation and taste. For those reasons alone, I gave it 4 stars. But, I could not, in all good conscience, make this recipe as directed because of the high fat and sugar content. I substituted applesauce for the oil and Egg Beaters for the eggs. I used half whole wheat flour and half white flour. I cut the sugar back to 1/2 cup each and used Splenda and Brown Sugar Splenda. I like to be able to serve desserts, but without breaking the bank in terms of calories from sugar and fat. I highly recommend this recipe, but a healthier version of it.

Moist, tasty and definitely a crowd pleaser! I topped these bars with a homemade cream cheese frosting....absolutely wonderful!

I served this for a baby homecoming party and it was a hit. This recipe is especially good for those who don't like little bits of anything in their carrot cake. It was just smooth and very tasty. I was even asked for the recipe. Didn't change the recipe a bit either!

These are outstanding! I followed the recipe (ingredient-wise) exactly. I made these with the suggested cooking time the first time and they were way too moist, but very flavorful. I made them again 5 days later and increased the cooking time by 15 minutes and they were PERFECT. Man, these are good. Thanks!

This is the best ever carrot cake! Everyone here just loved it. I made a three layer carrot cake out of the recipe with cream cheese icing. Just fabulous!

Pretty decent taste. Very easy...my husband took them to work and the soldiers scarfed them down. I added raisins and chopped pecans to the batter. I would make again because you can't ask for easier carrot cake.

very yummy! I did sub some items like wheat flour for reg. and also I used huney for the sugar. Turned out very moist and yummy. Everyone really loved them. I WILL make again! Thanks!

Very moist and very easy to make. Great for picnics and BBQs!

My entire family loves this recipe...however we've revised it a bit...we substitute an equal amount of apple sauce for the oil. Makes the cake lighter and drastically reduces the fat calories. Now if we can just make the frosting calorie free!!! : )

This was a very simple carrot cake bar. It took me about 30 minutes for the whole recipe (baking and prep time). It was really easy. It is very tasty too.
