Hands down the best carrot cake I've ever HAD or MADE. It is requested most often and practically inhaled when it hits the plate. I don't care if it overflows a bit. I frequently put the extra into a mini bundt pan or muffin pan. Thanks Doris!

it tastes great (apparently; i've never eaten it but have made it for friends), but overflows the bundt pan EVERY TIME. if i didn't get requests, i wouldn't have made it again. for some reason i didn't make a note of the overflow after the first time. i haven't come up with a solution other than to pour some batter into a loaf pan. bottom line: great flavour, but be prepared for the excess.

This cake turned out to be delicious! not too moist with a nice crumb and great flavor because of the pineapple and coconut! it was my favorite out of the 3 that I tried on this site : the other two being Carrot cake 3 and Sam's famous carrot cake.

took much longer to cook than stated, and over flowed the pan. Good taste though.

I've used this version of the carrot cake for many years now, and this is by far the best recipie I've found for it. The only thing I change in my version are the nuts; I'm allergic to walnuts so I substitute with macadamia, pine nuts are also a great option. Excellent cake, moist and very flavorful all on its own. IMO this cake stands on its own without a need for any frosting. Also, this cake ships extreemly well. I sent 2 doz cupcakes to my hubby overseas and they made it to him and his buddies moist and fresh as the day I baked them. They absolutly LOVED it (even though they had to settle with canned icing, yick) and cant wait for a seccond batch. Quick, simple, excellent cake for any occasion or need.

Followed all the directions, carefully measured, took it out as directed - what a mess, didn't turn out, just doughy, awful, would never make it again.

This was really good, took it to family get together for Easter and everyone loved it. I left out coconut (was out) and replaced walnuts with pecans (southern thing), one of the best carrot cakes I've made.
