Carrot Cake

“This is the same recipe as mine!!! It is the absolute BEST!!! Mine does have one difference, though. Mine calls for 3 tsp of cinnamon & 1 tsp cloves. It’s fantastic!!! I’m off to the kitchen to bake one now!!!!”

“I’m not a huge fan of carrot cake but this is yummy! I diced the carrots up after shredding and chopped walnuts further to give the cake a finer texture. Next time, I will add less sugar to the icing. I love sugar, but it’s a little too much.”

“Great recipe… but substitute the 1 1/2 cups of oil for 1 1/2 cups of unsweetened apple sauce and enjoy the same great taste with 336 grams LESS fat per cake!”

“No doubt about it…this one is really grrrate!I made it according to the instructions, using chopped pecans in the cake.In the South, we traditionally put nuts in the cream cheese frosting, so I used finely chopped pecans there too.I made this for my Mom’s 82nd birthday.Everyone was super impressed and Mom said it was the best carrot cake she’d ever eaten.Given 82 years of living, that’s saying a bunch!”

“Yeah It was pretty yummy!I made it about 2 weeks ago and I loved the walnuts in each bite.”

“I thought that I had the best carrot cake recipe but I was wrong.This one is the very best!”

“excellent! Just loved it!The best recipe ever!”

“Excellent cake! I did what a fellow reviewer suggested and replaced the oil with applesauce. It was fantastic, so moist and delicious. I also added a little clove and nutmeg. This is a definite keeper. Two Thumbs Up!Thanks for such a yummy recipe.”

“This was fabulous. I did use the 3 Tablespoons cinnamon, and added the cloves. I also think the pineapple was a great addition that I have never had with carrot cake befor. This will be one of my fav. cakes to make.Great, Great.Iva”

“Best carrot cake recipe yet. I appreciated the suggestions to increase the spices and to substitute some applesauce for oil. For my own taste, I’ll probably reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup, especially with the icing next time.”

“This was actually the first time I’ve ever made Carrot Cake and we loved it.So moist and the icing was creamy.I shared it with others and they loved it to.*Instead of using milk, I used Half & Half and for nuts I used Walnuts.Thanks for this wonderful recipe!”

“This is THE best carrot cake I and anyone who has tried it here,..has tasted. So easy to make…and it doesnt even need the icing (if your not an icing person)because it is just SO moist and delicious…thankyou Bertha…youve made me look like a good cook.”

“Absolutely awesome!I don’t think I’ve ever tasted a better carrot cake, and everyone who has tasted it agrees!Terrific flavour, and so moist – YUMMO!It made an absolute monster of a cake – we spent days eating our way through it.Definite keeper – thanks Bertha!”

“By far the best carrot cake recipe ever! Note, do bake it in the 9×13 pan. I tried to do a layer cake and it was just too dense and moist for that….so this is great as a container cake, not for a standalone layer cake.Definitely gets all five stars, this one, according to my hubby, is a keeper!”

“I made this cake for my DH birthday and everyone loved it.I used round cake pans though and this was enough to make an impressive three layer cake.The icing was sufficient to cover the entire cake and in between the layers.The only change I made to the ingredients was that I left out nuts, due to allergies in some family members.My sister said she wants another one in 26 days, just in time for her birthday.Thanks for a great recipe!”

“My family LOVED this!I took someone’s advice from this site, and reduced the sugar in the icing.It turned out perfect! We couldn’t get enough of it!”

“I made a test cake for my family and friends before I was to take it for Easter dinner and it was a big hit. It is super easy to make and taste great.”

“Best carrot cake I have made. I did not even use the icing because I made vanilla ice cream instead.”

“Lovely! Though I substituted a handful of sultanas and ahandful of ground almonds for the walnuts( which i didn’t have in stock) and used rosewater instead of the vanilla (surprisingly good and interesting flavour!)”

“Very good! I used about 2 cups of icing sugar, which I am sure is less than a pound. A pound is just way too much as far as we are concerned.”
