To whomever may read this comment, please, please, make this carrot cake. I've made it over and over again and it has become a staple recipe for me, it's so delicious, the texture is beautiful and it also keep well in the fridge for a couple of days. I fell in love with carrot cake after visiting London, having tasted one slice at a stall in Borough Market, and when I came home I looked for a good recipe and, well, I found a marvelous one. Thank you so much for sharing.

I just tried this recipe and it’s really good! Just remember to reduce the amount of oil (at least 3/4 of what the recipe calls for ) and sugar (250grams is more than enough).

I’ve been making this recipe since 2017 and I it. I just modified the sugar amount to less than a half of the original recipe, I use 150gr 50% white 50% brown and the texture of the cake is still good, and the cake is already very sweet. Thaks for this super good cake recipe ♥️

I just made this because tomorrow is National Carrot Cake Day. I didn't use raisins but otherwise I followed your recipe almost to a T. My husband said it was "the best carrot cake he has ever had", as he was especially happy with the frosting not too sweet. I found your recipe very user friendly and it really did turn out incredibly moist and very beautiful! Thank you! I will definitely check out your other recipes.

I literally just won a Bake Off Competition in work with this recipe!! The word everyone used to describe it was 'moist' I had comments like best carott cake I've ever had!

I split this mix into two loaf sized baking tins. I actually prefer carrot cake when it's in the loaf shape.
I also used a spoon and a half of nutmeg since a lot of other carrot cake recipes use that. Love this cake!

I made carrot cake for the first time using this recipe as I usually bake chocolate cakes, I tried it and it turned out so good!!! Even for those who don’t like fruit cakes, this cake was so moist, delicious and amazing! I couldn’t stop myself . I made it along some cream cheese frosting, I also reduced the sugar and oil and it was 10/10! Family loved it too! Thank you for sharing the recipe ! 😇

These two have the best recipes! I made their Butter Pie Crust and Apple Pie Filling and it was easy and turned out Awesome! I can't wait to make this Carrot Cake!

[treehugerakahalima]

This is literally the best carrot cake I’ve ever made and I made it for my Husband and his family and they absolutely loved it! I changed a few things, I used self raising flour and no baking soda(didn’t have plain flour at home) substituted the light brown for dark brown sugar and used 50g less for both sugars and finally added 1/2 cup of walnuts as well. I will definitely be baking this carrot cake again

[cincout]

I found it! This is the first carrot I made and I couldn't find this recipe so I have been making another (overly sweet) one. Yay! I love this recipe, it's so good.
