I have made this cake two times and each time it was received with rave reviews. I love the citrus taste that sets it apart from other recipes. For the 2nd cake I added some lemon juice to the cream chees icing for a light lemon flavor.

A very dense cake, if you like light and fluffy cakes this is not the one for you. The carrot cake lovers in my family thought it was one of the best they'd ever had but said it could be a little more moist. Was done sooner than expected.

A moist, delicious cake that everyone devoured. I've made many carrot cakes and sometimes the ingredients are off, as in, not enough flour to support the carrots, nuts, and raisins. This one is well-tested and works perfectly.

I made this cake for my husband's birthday yesterday and have to say what a DELICIOUS cake it was! I didn't put the citrus juices in and would eliminate the zests as well for my next one but that is a personal preference, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! A definite MAKE AGAIN recipe!
