  1. Made this cake for World 'Zaar day and my hubbie's birthday. He loved the cake and icing. I think if I made it again I would add some vanilla extract to the cake. In the Deep South pecans are traditional for carrot cakes, but I tried the walnuts and they were good. I mixed them into the frosting too.
     
  2. I also used Butter and added 1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg and cloves.Nice moist cake and kept well.
     
  3. I tried the cake with carrtos first and it was very tasty. Then I swiched the carrots with apples and added some more chunky apples in the middle of the cake with 1 cup of walnuts. Worths trying...
     
  4. I used butter instead of margarine; 6 carrots, 5 eggs, 3 spoons of vanilla and made some other (less dramatic) changes. The cake worked out great though! Thanks!!!
     
  5. The best and you can freeze it.

  1. Wow! This has got to be the best carrot cake that I have ever tasted in my whole life. It is so moist and rich. It may take alot of arm work to grate all of those carrots, but it is worth it! I have made it once before, and I'm pretty sure that I'm going to make once again today. This time I'm going to frost it with white chocolate cream cheese frosting instead of the plain cream cheese frosting. Thanks so much for this recipe!
