👌🏼👍🏼
Good recipe!
Made it with gluten free flour & didn’t use walnuts (allergies).

This recipe produced a moist carrot cake. I added raisins to the batter and a tsp of almond extract to the icing. 1 lb of powdered sugar is about 3 1/2 - 4 cups of powdered sugar.

Made this cake for a neighborhood get together, everyone loved it, one gentleman neighbor came by the next day to see if there was any left.
Have a request to bring it for dessert tonight.
Couldn’t find Buttermilk, so made my own with a tbsp of vinegar and enough milk to make an even cup. I also reduced the coconut to 1/2 cup and added 1/2 cup of plumped raisins.
I also didn’t use the full pound of confectioners sugar in the frosting.

Super moist and delicious. Not overly sweet. I will make again soon! My granddaughters loved it!

I wanted to make a carrot cake for my mom's 80th birthday, as that is her favorite cake. This recipe is easy to prepare and it was absolutely superb! Mom said it was the best carrot cake she had ever eaten! Five stars all the way! Everyone asked for the recipe. The only change made was a half cup of plumped raisins.

This is sooooo spot on...you'd swear it came from a fancy bakery. So very simple. Measured out 2 cups batter (plus a few tablespoons) for each cake pan. It made 3 perfect layers and the perfect amount of icing to add to each layer and on top...sprinkled with pecans. Yes I used pineapple, raisins, and only 1/2 c coconut. Special family flavoring: 1/2 t of almond extract into the icing. Repeater!

Moist and very tasty. My family enjoyed it. It wasn’t too sweet. My only concern is that the ingredients for the icing aren’t included in the Yummly list. You need to go to the recipe to find the rest of the ingredients.

Super moist and delicious! Made it twice. Second time made middle layer of icing chocolate. So good.

My carrot cake recipe is slightly different however even if it was the same the amount of powdered sugar on the frosting is entirely too much and icky sweet. I use no more than 2 cups . A lb is a little more than 4 cups. I add another 3 oz. of cream cheese and some fresh lemon juice and zest. It makes the fluffiest slightly lemony frosting. Try it and you'll never go back to using a whole lb of powdered sugar again.

I make this omitting the buttermilk and vegetable oil, instead I add 1-1/4 cup of applesauce. It’s delightful and a little less in calories
