I did not do the frosting this time, but I will next time. This made a moist tasty cake that I baked for a baby shower.

This is a wonderfully tasty carrot cake. Make sure though that you drain the pineapple. I missed that step the first time I made it and it did not come out right. However, have made it twice since then and it has turned out perfect.

Moist & full of flavor! The only thing I will do different next time is add some raisins. YUM! I did use store-bought cream cheese frosting though, to save time.

I substituted 1 cup of oil with 1 cup of applesauce, baked it in a glass dish (that's all I have) and reduced the cook time to 40 min and it came out fabulous! Sooo moist and delicious!

The best carrot cake I have ever had! I did replace 1c of the oil with cinnamon applesauce. Cake is moist and the frosting is delicious!

An extremely easy recipe and wonderful dessert. I used my electric food chopper for the carrots. It was a quick and easy - you just have to pulse it a few times and then run it until the carrots are finely chopped. The frosting is well balanced with creaminess and not too sweet. This was the first time that I made this cake - but definitely not the last!

This is an extremely easy recipe and an absolutely delicious cake - moist, flavorful, and attractive - a real winner! I used a food chopper to "grate" the carrots and it worked fine. I cut the into small pcs., pulsed the chopper a few times and then ran it until the carrots were reduced to tiny pcs. The Cream cheese frosting was perfectly balanced with creaminess and sweetness - not too much of either.

This is the second time that I've made this recipe, and like the previous reviewer, they all raved about this recipe. I think that part of the moistness of this cake comes from adding in the pineapple. I'll definitely be making this again and again!

This is the best carrot cake I have ever had! I'm curious to use applesauce instead of the oil next time as noted by the reviewer below. It will definitely make it a healthier version & hopefully the taste won't change.

This recipe was very good! I substituted half of the flour for whole wheat flour and used home made apple sauce (2 pureed apples) for the oil. I also added a cup of raisins that I boiled and then cooled to make them more plump. Then I made them into cupcakes instead of a cake and reduced the bake time to 20 minutes. They turned out WONDERFUL! You would never know this was a healthy recipe! I will definitely be making these again!

This was the first "from scratch" cake I ever made and it was well worth it. My Dan's face when he took the first bite said, "I've died and gone to heaven". I make it three times a year -- Father's Day, Dan's birthday, and Thanksgiving. It's REALLY good!
