SO good!! I tested the recipe first by making it for 4 servings... and I ate it all in one sitting!! I substituted Agave syrup for the sugar, and it still turned out great.

This carrot cake has been quite a hit! I've made three of them so far--one was requested as a gift for a party where it received many compliments. I reduced the sugar as suggested and used 1/2 white/brown sugar. In the last 2 cakes I did, I'd run out of white flour and decided "what the hay" and used whole wheat. The whole wheat actually came out better and I highly recommend it. Additionally, I did not use the frosting recipe. Instead, I made a simple sugar glaze using powdered sugar and water--about 1 to 1 and 1/2 Cups powdered sugar mixed with 2 Tablespoons water. Poured over top and allowed to cool for about an hour in the fridge. Non-dairy and just right.

Great and easy to make.

I didn't reduce the oil. But...i exchange 1/4 cup of olive oil mix with 1 cup cooking oil. And i add 5 eggs not 4 as in the recipe. The cake turned out to be very delicious, not oily at all. Also i add more nutmeg & 2 tablespoon of rhum..It gave more fragrant and rich flavor for the cake. One more thing...i bake it in the convection microwave oven 180 celcicius for 80 minutes. It bake perfectly!

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! Oh my gosh - I felt like I really knew what I was doing and it was beautiful & delicious for Easter! Thank you!! (3/4c oil, 1c white, 1c brown, 2 8x12 pans, cream cheese frosting II)

I too, used 3/4 cup oil, and 1 cup brown sugar-1 cup white sugar, and no rasins. I added about 3/4 cup walnuts, too! It was outstanding! My family loved it and I gave the recipe to my daughter and daughter-in-laws. Even all my grandchildren ate a slice with walnuts in it! I made it in a bundt pan. It made a beautiful presentation with the white cream chees frosting drizzled over the cake!

This was fabulous. I left out the raisins because I'm just not a fan. I also skipped the glaze and went for readymade buttercream frosting. Yum

A terrific recipe just as written. Thanks for sharing!

I might try this recipe again because I think it might just be my crappy baking skills, but my cake smelled like popcorn. I have no idea why. It also had a funny texture.

This cake is DELICIOUS although I followed some tips from some others used 1/2 brown sugar 1/2 regular and 3/4 cups of oil instead of 1 1/4 and I made it in a bigger Pyrex rubbed it down with shortening didn't stick at all cuts without any trouble So moist and it tastes amazing!!! had to make more frosting because of the size of the container I made it in but no biggie tasted till it was perfect! If you are going to make a carrot cake, make this one! Also, cooked at 350 for 35 minutes, 60 and it would have been burnt here!

Good recipe. Cake comes out moist and tasty. One caveat: the recipe says to leave the cake in the oven for 60-70 minutes. This is too long. I put my cake in a 10 inch bundt pan for 60 minutes at 350 degrees and the cake was overdone. Next time I plan on checking the cake at 45-50 minutes to test for doneness.

Excellent cake! I took it to a BBQ, and was scared taking a new recipe without trying it first. It was GREAT. I had just dug up carrots from my garden and had so many I didn't know what to do. Searching I found this recipe and am glad I did. I used the cream cheese glaze and it was wonderful. I also used my food processor to do the chore of grating the carrots for me. It took less than one minute!

Best ever! Except I left out the corn syrup in the frosting.

This was very good. It tasted even better the next day. I will make this again but next time I will reduce the amount of oil down to 3/4 cup because it was very oily. Laura

I used regular raisins soaked in rum, and added a few walnuts too. Really moist and tasty. I didn't make the frosting this time because I didn't have the cream cheese on hand. Next time I'll try the frosting too. This recipe beats the dried out stuff we get at the grocer's bakery any day.

I could not get over at how DELICIOUS AND MOIST this cake was! Before making this cake, I only had eaten carrot cake. I could not believe I had actually made such an incredible cake!
