"This moist cake with cream cheese frosting is the best I've ever eaten," writes Jeanette McKenna of Vero Beach, Florida. "It's so simple, too, because it uses two jars of baby food instead of fresh carrots that need to be grated."

This cake is delicious! I pretty much stayed true to the recipe, I like the option of using baby food puree if in a hurry. Another reviewer said to use 3 shredded carrots instead, I had wondered what the equivalent amount would be, so I'm glad to have this info. I have a carrot cake cheesecake recipe and I usually sub this carrot cake for the one in the recipe.

This cake is great but here's a few changes I made that made it soooo good. My husband and Brother-in-law raved over it.Use 5 real carrots. It has such a better texture and mouth feel using real shredded carrots.Also I substituted 1/2 c of oil out of 1 1/2 with a 4 ounce cup of applesauce.The best part is omitting the cream cheese frosting and using a buttemilk glaze for carrot cake. (The one with baking soda(!) and buttermilk). I was skeptical but my mom asked me to try it and it was superb. This cake looks and tastes like a gourmet bakery cake. Please try these variations and comment on what you think.
