Moist Carrot Cake Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 7)
Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2010
I made this for a 9" cake tin, approximately halving the ingredients as described and using MommyfromSeattle's suggestion of replacing about 2/3 the oil with applesauce (and thoroughly squeezing the crushed pineapple). Finished it with a Cream Cheese II topping. The cake was very moist but not soggy and I've been obliged to make again (twice) in the last two months. For someone who's a novice it's straightforward to make and I was able to produce a consistent result over three attempts.

Took this to a going away party and everyone said it was great! Even people who didn't usually like carrot cake said so! Very flavourful and moist...much better than Carrot Cake III. I used 3 large eggs, 1 3/4 cups sugar, dash of ground cloves, 3/4 cup veg. oil, 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup buttermilk, 1/2 chopped toasted pecans and 1/3 cup sultana raisins. After I frosted it with cream cheese frosting I topped it with toasted sweetened coconut. Next time I'll try a few adjustments with different spices. Easy to make and tastes great! Thanks for sharing!

This carrot cake is delicious. It was gone instantly and everyone asked me when I will make it again. I did not use the 2 cups of sugar I used 1 1/4 cup. Thanks for the great recipe.

This was the best cake that I have ever made, hands down! It was easy to make, but with the cooking, I had to leave it in the oven for another 15-20 extra minutes to get it to cook fully. Man, what a great cake recipe! I want to share it with all of my friends!

This is an excellent moist carrot cake. I've tried some other carrot cake recipes, but they have turned out dry and crumbly. This is a truly moist carrot cake. I bake for friends, family, and coworkers, and my coworkers raved about this cake. One, who really loves carrot cake, told me it was the best she's ever had. Another, who really loves carrot cake, said she only eats them from one of the restaurants in town, because they're the only place to get it right. She said this rivalled that cake. I made these into cupcakes using the recipe as written, and the only word of advice I have, is that if you make cupcakes, only fill your papers half full. The cupcakes tend to grow beyond the paper if you fill to the typical 3/4 full. I also used a cream cheese icing with marshmallow fluff in the mix. I think the combination of the unique icing and this moist cake is the bomb.

This was a good basic recipe. I like many others here don't care to use so much oil so i used 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup of apple butter. I reduced the sugar to 1-1/2 cups and omitted the walnuts and coconut from the cupcake. I made a coconut flavored cream cheese frosting and toasted some unsweetened coconut to decorate.
