This tasty treat was my first successful attempt at baking light. The ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg give it a familiar spice cake flavor...and raisins and shredded carrots help keep it moist. —Hilary Carroll of Dearborn, Michigan

Great taste, easy to make and healthy to boot. This is really a find! I served it with whipped cream and milk. I made another vacuum packed and froze it. After three days I thawed it and tasted it, it was just as good as when it was first made.

I made this snack with a can of pumpkin instead of the carrots and it was marvelous. I took it to a potluck supper and got great reviews!!

I also found cake too dry even though I added 1/4 cup of milk. Tasted good but needs more moisture.tranquilitytransitions

This cake was way too dry and I ended up throwing it out. No one in my family liked it. The taste wasn't that bad, but it was just too dry.

Chopping up the carrots took a little longer than I thought it would. The finished product smelled wonderful and tasted even better! You wouldn't know it was made with wheat flour and was low in fat! Will definitely make again.

This is a very moist snack cake even with the whole wheat flour. Excellent source of fiber and just sweet enough!

I made muffins also. So many times my husband wants me to pack a little something sweet into his lunchbox for his midmorning snack and muffins work out really well. Yesterday, he took 2 muffins to share with a coworker who thought the Harvest Snack Cake/Muffins smelled heavenly when he heated one up in the microwave.
