This is the most delicious sheet cake I have EVER made!!!! I would rate it 10 stars if I could! Made it for the family yesterday and I have a warning for you....If you are a lover of carrot cake and don't want the extra calories, you had better not even make it!! You can't stay out of it!!! OMG, this cake was fabulous! The only change I made is, I baked it for 25 minutes rather than the 35 recommended. I bake my chocolate sheet cake for 20 minutes and I did this one about 5 minutes longer. The cream cheese frosting is to die for! The cake is moist and the frosting on top just seals the deal for me. You will not be disappointed in this delicious cake, I PROMISE!

Very tasty & moist. I took it to work and everyone raved about it. Everyone said it was the best carrot cake they have tasted. I am taking the recipe into work tomorrow. I baked the bake in a 4 quart large baking dish. I added 1/2 cup coconut also. Yumm-o!

Easy and delicious. I also froze half of it for about a month, and when we ate the frozen cake it was as delicious as the fresh!
