Follow this recipe to the T and it will be perfect. First time to bake a cake from scratch. It was sublime !!!

delicious! Forgot to take a pic but was wonderful. Didn’t use all the frosting but it was nice to have enough to use for decorating top.

The cake turned out absolutely amazing, perfectly moist and went great with the frosting. I halved the proportions for the frosting, though, and there was still too much left, but other than that it was absolutely perfect. It became my family's favorite instantly :)

This cake comes out super moist! I love the technique of re-covering the cake with the pans for 2 hours , it really works. It was delicious and moist and the frosting was tasty too although I followed the advice of others and halved the frosting recipe and there was still more than plenty. This will be my go to carrot cake recipe from now on!

Best Carrot Cake recipe ever. I made this with Gluten Free flour 1-1 and it got rave reviews! Followed the instructions exactly. It was great!

It was my first time making a from-scratch cake— simple and delicious! Will never buy a carrot cake again when I can whip up one of these. Excited to try variations

Lovely and moist. Had lots of frosting left to freeze. I only put 1 cup of sugar in the cake mixture, and in the frosting, halved the icing sugar too.

It turned out great. It was easy to make. I only made half the frosting and had plenty. My family loved it!

The cake itself was moist & delicious . However...if you follow the frosting part of recipe, you'll end up with 3 times the amount of frosting you need.
We actually attempted to use all the frosting, & ended up scraping over half of it off. It was completely overwhelming.
So, please make the cake, but do half the frosting recipe (& that's still a bit too much)

I added a 1/2 tsp nutmeg and walnuts to the cake. Only used 5 cups of icing sugar in the frosting. It was really sweet already but it did end up a little thinner than I’d prefer. Did have lots left over too. Will tweak that part but the cake was awesome and moist.

So good! It turned out really moist and spongy. I added 1/2 tsp of nutmeg aswell. I would recommended this to anyone and will only use the recipe from now on 💯
