My daughter's birthday is St. Patty's day. She asks for this cake every year. We often have a big party - we're the Ryan family - & this cake gets rave reviews. Sometimes I use the cream cheese frosting, sometimes I just dust it with powdered sugar. Either way, it's delish!

I have bought some carrots a few days ago, and realized I overstocked, nervous that they will go to waste, I began my quest for an easy carrot cake recipe. (Which is my favorite by the way :) I came across this wonderful recipe, and decided to give it a try. Of course with making a slight change, substituting carrot baby food , with real carrots. Keep in mind that a) this is my first time baking anything from scratch b) I am almost incapable of following cooking instructions c) I am a queen at craziest ingredient substitutions. Nevertheless, somehow I managed to pull it together this time, surprisingly I had all the needed ingredients, so no need for substitutions, and I actually managed to follow the instructions, as they were clear and simple (THANK YOU)! The only other change I made, was to frosting, I added it some lemon zest to it, just for little extra kick.My cupcakes , came out great ! I would have never in million years would have thought it was possible. Thank you so much for a great recipe ! Definitely a winner !

I tried this! And it turned out really well. But I used fresh carrots instead.

Great texture-I added raisins and used walnuts instead of pecans, and it was great!

This review is for the cake only, as I used a different recipe for the frosting. I made 28 cupcakes out of this recipe. I chose this recipe because the cupcakes were easy for my 3 yr old to help make with the carrot baby food; no grating carrots. He and his friends loved them, and my husband did too. My FIL thought they were gingerbread instead of carrot, so not a strong carrot flavor, but overall very good and moist. Will definitely make again.

I love this recipe! I use it often for cupcakes. I have also added grated carrot because I do like the texture. It's perfect with the Cream Cheese Frosting II Recipe.

This is a really good, moist recipe...BUT, I think using baby food as opposed to real carrots provides a WAY muted carrot flavor, so it was not what I was looking for : )
