Cake its self was tasty but the recipe / instructions could have been better written by listing the ingredients for the icing apart. Instructions could have been written better. You do no need that much cream cheese and powder sugar. I used a quarter of the amount listed in the recipe and it was still more than enough. Do not use this recipe if you are a carrot cake novice. There are better and simpler recipes out there.

Added raisins (a bit more than the recipe called for) and walnuts. Couldn't stop eating the scraps. I only used 2/3 of the sugar in the frosting. Try to use the recommended 3 pans, otherwise it will take a good amount of extra cooking time to cook through (I used a 9 inch and an 8 inch). Popping them in the freezer definitely helped the frosting process. It would be impossible if they were warm.

Cake and frosting were delicious! I made it plain, but would add raisins next time, although my boyfriend loved it as was and hated the suggestion of adding raisins or altering the cake in anyway

It was ok, the icing was nice and creamy, but the cake was not as moist as I had hoped.

the MOST AMAZING and simple sponge I have ever baked. Delishious! This recipe is a keeper
