Although I cut down on the butter in the glaze and used part applesauce for oil in the cake itself, I still found it too oily and not as flavorful as the last Carrot Cake recipe I tried.

I used light sour cream in place of 3/4 of the mayo and low fat evap milk. I added garlic, a little whole grain mustard and hot sauce. Overall it was very good. Next time I may try adding some curry powder. It's really an adaptable recipe. I haven't cooked much w/ evap milk but I think it really made it creamy. Think I would like it w/ panko topping better. The saltines just didn't thrill me

It was delicious. I followed others advice and used 450 rather than 500. I did have to cook it about 20 min longer than I anticipated but think it was because the meat wasn't truly room temp when I put it in the oven (although it was out of fridge an hour) If you have a Whole Foods nearby, I would highly recommend getting some of their truffle butter. I served the meat with a little pat on top and it was unbelievably good combined with the garlicky meat. I literally bought $2. worth and it was more than enough.
