Easy and yummy
I followed this recipe as written and reduce it by half to make cupcakes. The only confusing part is the ounces written for the cream cheese. A package of cream cheese is 8 ounces not 3. So I went with my gut and used 4 ounces for my half recipe. This yield 9 cup cakes. I baked them for 40 mins. The cake was moist and texture ratio was perfect. The frosting was easy and turned out silky and smooth. Very delicious!!! My son approved. Thank you
Super easy and delicious
My grandson loved this cake I made for his birthday. Carrot cake is his favorite. I made it according to the directions and it was excellent n
Made this recipe as directed except I used 2 tsp of baking soda. Put it in a 9 inch bundt pan and the family thought it was terrific. I think it raised up perfect, heavy and moist but not too heavy. My frosting looked pretty sloppy but that was operator error, texture and taste were good.
This was a quick easy recipe, and the first Carrot cake I’ve ever made. The first time I made it as suggested, everyone loved it, I thought it was to oily. The second time I cut the oil to one cup and for the frosting used 2 packages of cream cheese and enough powdered sugar to get it to my level of desired sweetness (maybe a cup?).
Love it although its very rich in calories lol
I made this for a friends’ birthday. I was cautiously hopeful. It was a fantastic result! The only thing I would alter would be the icing. maybe would like a little thicker. But a divine taste treat, both cake and icing joined, for the palate!
What a great carrot cake! Can’t stop sneaking a bite every time I walk by. A Easter lunch hit for sure! Super moist and easy! Be sure to prep pans really good. It stuck a tiny bit coming out of the pans but held together.
Great recipe! Like others I added 1 tsp baking powder and cut the oil to 1 cup. Came out great!
This cake came out really good and moist. My family and I enjoyed it.
Just added nutmeg. Other than that great recipe!
I make a carrot cake every year for my father for his birthday and I have never used the same recipe twice. I will definitely do this one again. I may try the modification of baking powder like others say they did and I might use 1/4 less oil just to see if those modifications make it better. But we LOVED it as is and happy to keep it just the way it is written here. I made the frosting just as written and will be using it as my go to cream cheese frosting from now on. For just once a year it is worth all the decadence this cake has to offer.
Delicious! I make cupcakes and omitted the coconut but this was so good. Topped with cream cheese icing. Yes!
It very easy to make! the recipe doesn’t lie! The only thing I change was not adding as much sugar on the frosting. To avoid making the frosting not as sweet I used one cup of the sugar it asked for. It came out so delicious! thank you!
Was really good! The family loved it!
I loved this! Instead of 1 1/2 C of oil, I used 1 C of plain Greek yogurt and 1/2 C of oil. Turned out perfectly! I made my own cream cheese frosting. I will definitely make this again!
My first carrot cake!! Super easy and cake out great! Added some pineapple and used less sugar. Everyone loved it!
This is basically good. The only thing I didn’t like is that it’s way too oily. If I make this again, I’ll do one of the three: 1. Just make the frosting. It was delicious 2. Cut the oil in half 3. Replace the oil with applesauce
these was so simple to do . and the family didn’t even know it wasnt the one I always make that take FOREVER ! to make . I applaud u great recipe love it !!!
This is my second time making this and it is always a huge hit. I did use a full 8 ounces of cream cheese with the 2.5 cups of confectioners sugar because I felt the icing was too sweet otherwise. I also made this with gluten free flour due to the fact that I have an allergy. Turned out perfectly with the GF flour! Tried and true recipe!
