I made loafs and a few muffins rather than a whole cake pan. I added some raisins as well, and my husband and I LOVED it! He's a fan of carrot cake, and this one definitely hit the spot. Of course, this recipe called for quite a bit of sugar, which is my only problem with it, so we only had a little of it before bringing it over to my husband's medical school campus. Let's just say the cake didn't hang around for longer before disappearing down med students' gullets:-)

This is my 2nd year making this cake for my hubby's birthday. I have followed most of the changes that everyone else has made and I LOVE this cake! This will always be the recipe I go to.

I messed the recipe up (added 2cps pecans to batter) and it was still phenomenal! Prior to this I felt that nothing topped my Cheesecake Factory Experience, but this is definitely a recipe to take notice of. Yum!

OMIGOD! BEST CARROT CAKE EVER!!!! I was left speechless after tasting this cake I made. Couple things I did change per suggestions from other members: I used 1 CP white sugar and 1 CP brown sugar. I increased the vanilla to 1 TBSP (3 tsp). I increased the cinnamon to 1 TBSP (3 tsp). I added 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. I used 3/4 CP oil and 1/2 CP unsweetened applesauce. The cake was so beautifully moist and spiced! Just perfect. I baked the cake in 2 round cake pans and stacked them with icing in the middle and on top. I doubled the icing, though, to make sure I had enough. I used only 5 CP of powdered sugar instead of 8 and it was plenty sweet. I also tripled the vanilla and left out the pecans. So good! I would give this 10 stars if I could!

Great recipe!!! I did make a few minor changes after reading many reviews. Instead of 2 cups of white sugar I used 1 each of brown and white, added and extra tsp of each vanilla and cinnamon. It was moist and delicious and really doesn't even need frosting although the frosting is great minus that 1 cup of powdered sugar as others have suggested. I have made this recipe twice in less than a month and it never lasts more than two days. Everyone loves it!

5 star with changes. Used another reviewers tips: 1 cup brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar. 3 teaspoons of vanilla, 1 8oz. can of crushed pineapple drained, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 3 tsp of cinnamon, 3/4 cup canola oil and 1/2 cup applesauce. I also added walnuts instead of pecans, and I added 1 cup of shredded coconut. I shredded carrots small, and they did not sink at all. I reduced powdered sugar to 3 cups and it came out perfect. It was a hit for dinner. Fantastic!!

I made this recipe as cupcakes for my children's pre-school class. They made a great alternative to the usual sugar-laden store-bought cupcakes. They were a hit with the kids, the teachers and the parents! The only change I made was to substitute apple sauce for half of the oil. Great recipe! Will use it again!

HIGH ALTITUDE DETAILS: I live in Denver, and the only thing to be wary of is the cooking time, it really only needed about 30 minutes, so be careful. This was greatl Made it for my office and my fiance. They all loved it! I didn't put nuts in the frosting though, however I put a little extra in the cake part. Turned out wonderful.

The recipe is excellent as is with no substitutions or changes. I made it for dessert for a Boyscout Court of Honor and everyone gobbled it up and went back for seconds. The *only* thing I changed was in the frosting because I personally like a creamier less sweet flavor. I used a full stick of butter, half the sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Excellent recipe, I prefer to use Cream Cheese Frosting II with a dash of allspice added for a less sweet, deliciously cream-cheesey frosting.
