I followed the original recipe and it came out delicious! People who had never had carrot cake before (like me) AND people who don't LIKE carrot cake loved it!

I used 3 c. carrots and only 1/4 c. coconut beause my husband doesn't like it. I only had a 20 oz. can of pineapple so I had to guess on how much liquid to leave in. The batter looked quite runny so I added 1/2 c. flour. I used 2, 9 inch pans and put parchment paper in the bottoms. I cooked the cake for 35 minutes. The weather here was very humid so after icing with cream cheese frosting I put it in the refrigerator. The cake was EXCELLENT. I almost purchased a carrot cake for $13 at the store and decided to make my own for my husband's birthday. I was so glad I did! Thank you, we all loved it.

Very moist. I used half whole wheat flour and my family really enjoyed the cake. It was nice to serve something that is not overly sweet (no cream cheese frosting) and have them like it.

Delicious! I left out the coconuts and added a little extra carrot but other than that, followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect. I made it for my boyfriend's parents and they absolutely loved it.

Fantastic. I used dates instead of raisins and it turned out great. Very moist and flavorful. No other changes needed.

I LOVE CARROT CAKE... and this recipe is THE BEST!!!! I've eaten many pieces of carrot cake but haven't quite had one like this... I highly recommend it. This got rave reviews the few times I've made it. I followed the recipe exactly.

I love love love this cake recipe! I make it for all three of my kids' birthdays and I usually sneak in whole wheat flour for part of the all purpose. I love that I can feed a crazy bunch of kids at a birthday party a homemade cake that they go nuts for. I use organic ingredients, the cream cheese frosting II from this site, and an overload of sprinkles! Thanks for sharing and bringing a new tradition of cakes to our family...

My bf requested a carrot cake for his bday this weekend and so I attempted my first ever made from scratch cake. I wanted a recipe like my grandmother used (with the nuts and raisins and other stuff) and not only did I manage to make this cake and not mess it up, but it was INCREDIBLE. SO moist and flavorful. I got a ton of complements on this cake. I followed the recipe exactly except I used two 9in round cake pans which worked out perfectly. I topped it with a simple home made cream cheese icing and chopped pecans!

I have never had any other carrot cake that compares with this recipe. Heavenly. Moist, layers of flavor, and so good it needs no icing. But I usually do use icing. I use pecans rather than walnuts. My husband loves carrot cake and he has declared this one the best ever. So do our friends when I serve it to them. I like the Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting from the site for this cake.

Oh my, this is just delicious! I served it to family and coworkers and they just could not get enough of it. The ingredients set it apart in a subtle way--I had to field the repeated question of "What did you do differently?". While a good cream cheese frosting is a nice and traditional addition (and one that I did use), I think the cake would be great on its own.

6 years later and this cake continues to get rave reviews - let me add my 5 stars. This is the first cake I've ever made from scratch in my 48 years, and it was cheered by everyone. Used lowfat buttermilk because it was all the store had at the time. Also cooked in two round cake pans and made a double layer cake. Moist, full of good stuff. Used Cream Cheese Frosting II from this site and it was the exact right amount - I chopped a bag of walnuts so I used the leftover and put it on the frosting. YUM!

Wonderful rich, moist cake. I left out the coconut as my husband doesn't like it, and topped with cream cheese frosting (whip together 8oz cream cheese, 1/2 tbsp vanilla, 1 stick butter, & 3 cups powdered sugar) and baked in a 9x13 pan for 45 minutes. Thanks for a great recipe!

A new family favorite - it has already been requested for the next birthday party! I did slim it down by using applesauce in place of the oil and omitted the coconut and nuts, based on personal preference.

I am a carrot cake connoisseur. I love, love, LOVE carrot cake and order it our whenever it is offered on the menu. I have tried many recipes in my quest to find the perfect carrot cake. Five stars is not enough. After trying this recipe I feel like I have reached the Emerald City!! I didn't change anything from the original recipe as-written. Sam is now a God in my eyes! Thank you, Brian! This is awesome!!
