Amazing but true....I am VERY picky about the recipes I try. If they are not great the first time, I will never try them again -- and they have to be easy to throw together. I would never have attempted this one if it were not rated so highly! WELL WORTH IT. Can you believe that such a cake has no eggs, no oil, and still tastes terrific!. Note: I measured my 2-grated carrots (because carrot sizes vary so much), and it came to 2 cups lightly packed. --Louise

This was delicious fresh from the oven and with butter after coming out of the fridge. I used a glass loaf pan and forgot to decrease the temp by 25 degrees...beware! It got a little too done on the bottom because of this. I also found it really sticky when slicing.

This is the best little spice cake! Heating the spices with the carrots and raisins gives the cake an even texture and keeps it very moist. I followed the suggestion of grinding the walnuts, and was so pleased. The nut taste is in every crumb! Thanks for passing this one on!

I enjoyed this cake and it is so quick and easy to make and low fat too! Not quite sure if the middle was meant to be as moist as mine turned out - unfortunately I did not allow the carrot mixture to cool and just added it while hot. I am not quite sure if this affected the cake. Tasty and easy.

I choose this recipe because of the really low fat content. However, instead of chopped walnut I grind the walnuts into almost powder in a food processor to throw them in with the dry ingredients. In addition, I substitute cloves for allspice. Turn out that this is one of the most delicious carrot cake. The fact that we have to precook the carrots, and the natural oil from the ground up walnuts works wonders.

I made this for three different people, and they all really liked it, especially my father-in-law. He loved the fact that each slice was loaded with "goodies." It's hard for me to personally rate this, since I'm not a carrot/raisin fan. It was easy to make; however, and, it looks nice when sliced.

It was yummy--a big hit with the carrot cake fan in the family. Frosted with a cream cheese frosting.

very moist and flavorfull! It was delicious. I used Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting (It's on this site, just search for it) on top and they were a smashing combination.
