My DH just made this cake for my birthday and it was a big hit with everyone! It got 5 stars from the youngest to the oldest at the party. Everyone was asking for the recipe. A keeper for sure and will be added to my personal cookbook of favorite recipes. THANKS

I've made this cake for several years and everyone goes crazy for it! I've had coworkers tell me I can't quit the job til I give them the recipe ! My daughter and several friends request it for their birthdays. To Sunday M. The filling simmers down to the consistency of honey. Then when it cools it becomes the consistency of peanut butter so it is spreadable between the cake layers. You probably cooked it too long. But don't give up on it this is by far the best carrot cake I have ever made and/or tasted!

Please someone explain to me the precan filling. I followed the step exact and it turned out hard and kinda crunchy. Not at all like the picture. However, very tasty, i am going to crumble it and put it on the cream cheese filling/frosting. Any feed back would be so helpful. :)

this is by far the best carrot cake I've ever had. I have made it multiple times and gotten tons of compliments. I used pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon and it gave it a little something extra! I highly recommend this!

WOW! It's a little bit of trouble but so worth it. My daughter told me this one has to be added to the favorites. I will probably make it for Easter.

I discovered this recipe in the cook book Test Kitchen Favorites. I altered it slightly. I add 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. I make the cake in one layer and skip the filling. The icing is 8 ounces butter and 8 ounces cream cheese and 5 cups powder sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla. People tell me its the best carrot cake that they have ever eaten.

My sister in law asks me to make this every year for her birthday and I also made it for her baby shower. I'm not a big fan of carrot cake but this was very very good! The filling is amazing.

This is the best carrot cake ever. This was first published in a trial subscription of Country Woman several years ago and I have made this numberous times for potlucks and special occassions at work and for family. I get compliments everytime I make it. And requests for the recipe. This is the only carrot cake recipe I use. I may add that this recipe is one of the reasons I subscribed to Country Woman.
