Hello Stephanie! I didn't realize until today - Thursday, March 14, 2024, when I wanted to double check the steps for making the icing (Today is the 1st time that I made it, but this might be the 3rd or 4th time that I've made the cake.) that I hadn't returned to leave a comment to tell you how much I love it and appreciate the teaching/share of it!

The first time I made it, I didn't have 2 1/2 cups shredded carrots, maybe 1 to 1 1/2 cups but I did use the recommend apple sauce, as well as raisins. I substituted olive oil for vegetable oil as well, and it was delicious!

The second time I made it, I used the 2 1/2 cups of shredded carrots, plus everything else from my first attempt. I couldn't believe how it went from delicious to amazingly delicious. The first bite made me holler, WOW!

The last time I made it before today, I experimented by Julianing my carrots instead of shredding them, big mistake on my part. They didn't bake up at all well. In that cake I also tried using the crushed pineapple in lue of applesauce. It all got eat, but it wasn't complete happiness like the first two cakes were.

Today, I remembered to shred my carrots again, I didn't add the applesauce or crushed pineapple, only the raisins but might have forgot to add the teaspoon of salt. But thankfully it's still good, if not as sweet. The marvelous thing about making the icing for the first time this time - is, it should hide the salt I forgot add, which brings out the sweetness!

I thought sharing my experiences might help others to experiment and/or avoid my mistakes.

Thanks again, and have a great day in the Lord!

Today, i baked this cake one layer 9x13 inch with cream cheese frosting just as you did for our family gathering. Everybody loved it. It is so moist and tender. I used apple sauce instead of the crushed pineapple. It was really a fancy cake. Thank you so much. I baked many of your recipies and non of them failed.

I made this yesterday and it was delicious! We had it for our Christmas dessert today. I baked part of the batter in small, heart shaped pans with removable bottoms. Then I made them into two layer, individual cakes, with icing between the layers, and then covering the entire little cakes. Guests loved them. You are a very good teacher! Thank you for the video!

I made this cake today, tested it for Easter. Oh my, it was delicious. Changes l made was cut veg oil down to a 1/2 cup, added equal amounts of unsweetened applesauce, 1 teaspoon of vanilla & 1 cup of sugar. Beating eggs, sugar & vanilla is key to a tasty/light cake. Thank you for a wonderful recipe 😊

I saw this video, as I was thinking of what to bake to group friends when they come to visit me. It's my first time to bake carrot cake, and they all said this is the best carrot cake they have had eaten, so moist and so delicious. That pineapple crushed gave a great taste. Thank you Stephanie!

Stephanie, I congratulate you.
I have listened to thousands of recipe and methods over the years, for all sorts of recipes - but I must say yours is the best set of instructions, ingredient conversion weights, alternative decorating ways, alternative ingredient choices that I have ever heard. The information you give is so precise. It’s a “joy” to get a complete set of instructions that I can work with without having to google baking temperatures, weight conversions etc etc. Thank you

I just made this. This is the best cream cheese frosting I've ever had. Most cream cheese frosting they're overly sweet but this one is just right.

[zeeshanhaque]

Stephanie I can’t thank you enough for sharing your talent and skill with us, I have made this carrot cake several times over the last couple of years and it’s always a hit!!! I even made it for my own wedding 😊. Thank you!

So this cake is extremely delicious... the texture with the pineapple omg. The icing was just sweet enough for my liking. I would definitely make this again.

I have tried a few recipes on the Internet and finally one that worked out really well. Love the way she explains each step and I really appreciate that she does the conversion to grams. Saves me from looking up on the net to convert. Great video. Thank you :).

This is my go-to carrot cake recipe, made this quite a few times and everybody even people I do not know love it, birthdays, BBQs, just get together, parties, and I just as you do. I weigh by ingredients, I use quite a few of your cake recipes thank you so much.

[deniseramdeen]

My sister and I made this today for Mother's Day (2021). It turned out awesome. I modified the frosting a little as I've got a cream cheese mouth. I am totally pleased and grateful for your recipe. Thank you so much for sharing! It's already tucked away in my favourite recipe book 😄. It will be THE carrot cake recipe for me.

[jagdeepkaur]

I made this today, and this is the best carrot cake I've ever had! It's so wonderfully moist and delicious! And guys don't skip on the toasting the nuts part, it really does a make a huge difference! If there's a better carrot cake recipe out, then someone will have to personally make it for me and give it to me, cause I have no reason to go out of my way looking for any other carrot cake recipes after today. Thanks so much for this!

This Carrot Cake recipe looks so delicious Stephanie. I've made this cake several times before. I like adding some shredded coconut into the batter. It definitely gives it an extra amount of flavor.

[momgrandma]

Ah, the old tried-and-trues, love it when you have the joy of tasting it Stephanie, thanks.
