Carrot Cake

“Nice recipe,added an extra 12 cup of walnuts,2 t cinnamon + 3 t mixed spice for a darker and nuttier cake. It took alot longer to bake though at least treble the time.”

“libbie used thi recipe also she added 3 t of cinnamon though and 1/2 c nuts also in frosting thanks for posting this charlotte sh used the recipe alot . and was in very old black book”

“PERFECT!!!! I made this for a family dinner and it was delicious! I did use my grandma’s cream cheese frosting recipe instead. Thanks so much!”

“Fantastic, just the recipe I wanted, and it came out perfectly! I halved the quantities and made it in a bundt tin as an experiment, successful, thankfully. Still needed 45 mins at 180c. English so not that familiar with cups, easy enough for sugar etc but used 6 smallish carrots, ‘some’ walnuts and ‘some’ butter in the frosting. Loved the chuck-it-all-in-the-blender approach. Will be making this again in a hurry, thanks Charlotte!”

“This was pretty tasty, and definitely easy! I added 1/4 cup raisins to it also. I halved the recipe, put it in a 9″x9″ pan, and I think I baked it around 45 minutes. It seemed a little under done when I pulled it out but it was browning deeply so I took a chance. Once it cooled to warm it was perfectly done.”

“Love this cake!I reduced the sugar to 1-1/2 cups and it’s still plenty sweet and delightful.Also added a sprinkle of allspice and a teaspoon of vanilla.I leave the nuts out of the cake but saute some in a skillet with a little butter and sugar, then sprinkle them over the cream cheese frosting.YUM!Thanks for this great recipe, Charlotte.”

“Extremely easy, but for my oven a longer cooking time necessary, nevertheless very yummy.My son suggests lemon zest/juice added to the frosting instead of vanilla, which will give a zing.”

“this cake was very good moist and fluffy ‘now the iceing it needed more sugar or mabe i added too much cream cheese but it is a keeper “

“Had a birthday party and made 3 cakes , chocolate, angle food and carrot.The carrot cake was the first to go .Must mean everyone loved it.”

“This is the first cake i ever baked..and it turns out a succes…though i dont make the frosting just the cake alone.My husband who is the most picky eater i ever met LOVES IT A LOT!!!!he even wonder why i make for 3 servings only, he cant get enough huh..he cant even believe i baked it my self…but i did.. :-)So i recommend thisto all who love Carrot cakeand baking( just like me)”

“This is my partners favourite kind of cake and it came up trumps. i have lost my old faithful recipe book and had to chance it on here, have a lot more faith now thanks to great recipes like this.”

“Why can’t I give this a “10”???Easy, fast, delicious!I, too, doubled the frosting, but used only 3 cups powdered sugar.I used to not make carrot cakes because they took so long–I’m so glad this was posted–thanks for sharing, Charlotte J!”

“These are really GREAT! I made these into mini muffins. I topped them with a french buttercream instead of the icing in this recipe. “

“Fabulous!Delicious and decadent!I like less sugar in the icing though.”

“This cake was great, and easy to make! Everyone loved it. “

“Great recipe. I made double of frosting as my husband loves that and put one layer of that on top of the cake and the rest in the middle cutting the cake in half. Heaven in my mouth!”

“Great recipe, easy to make and delicious results!”

“Nice reciepy quick to make and delicious”
