I previously reviewed this recipe and wanted to add a note out here as I made the cake again, but this time with a change to substitute pumpkin puree from a can instead of using the oil and it was even better! I did the substitution so I could reduce the calories, but to be honest, I liked it better than the oil since the oil made it a little heavy and overly moist. Now if I could only reduce the calories of the frosting waaaaaayyy down!

Yum yum yum! I've never had a homemade carrot cake and decided to give this a try. It was delicious, but the frosting was really the best part! Not too sour and not too sweet, perfect!

excellent flavor and texture. I did the 1/2 applesauce 1/2 oil substitution. I also baked it as cupcakes (made 24) 20 minutes per tray at 350. Everyone loved them! Definite make again!

I've tried various carrot cake recipes and i thought this one was very good! I didn't have any pecans so i used walnuts! Even without the topping its tasty..but i would recommend using a pinch of salt instead of 1/2tsp of salt, if not adding the topping. Up the cinnamon to 3 tsps like others have suggested.Fool proof recipe. Definitely a keeper!

It was amazing! I went into it thinking it would be sort of dry, but it was moist and delicious. I halved the amount of confectioner's and added some milk because the frosting is really sweet, but otherwise perfection!

Simply delicious. So classic, so awesome. ALL of my friends have asked for the recipe and it's now in all permanently in their recipe books. Everyone swarms to this cake when i arrive at parties. I even made it for my 3-tiered wedding cake! My only suggestion is that I reduce the icing sugar in the frosting to 3 cups. Thanks Tammy!!

Made the frosting, not the cake. Good but a little too sweet, I would probably use 3 cups sugar next time rather than 4. Very easy to mix up.

Great recipe without changes. I think that a recipe should be reviewed for it's own merits with "minimal changes" Too many changes messes up the rating system

This is a great carrot cake recipe. We followed it exactly with the added 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg. It did not come out oily as some reviewers have stated. It came out moist and delicious. We did not however, use the frosting recipe. But thank you for sharing this fantastic carrot cake with AR!
