This cake is awesome! It isn't super heavy like most carrot cakes. It has great texture AND great flavor! Only thing I added was a teaspoon of almond flavoring. I also used a different frosting but that's because I have a favorite frosting! I baked at 350 for 30-35 minutes in a 9 inch round--perfect!! I'm using this cake for my sister's wedding.

Really good. I like to add pineapple that I have chopped very small and increase the sour cream to 3/4 cup.
I love sour cream!
Important hint: bake at 325 - 350 until a knife comes out clean.

This was a delicious cake although I find this can't be served without a frosting (not sweet enough). As for the previous reviewer who turned this cake into a hockey puck that will happen to any cake baked at too high of a temperature (anything over 350 is very unusual when baking a cake) and for too long. My cake turned out moist and good.

Well... It might be a good recipe if I could figure out how she did part of this. I didn't have a clue what a "moderately low" oven temperature was, I went and read some other carrot cake recipes to see what the average cooking temperature was and used 375 degrees F. The cake was dry and overcooked. I didn't have a ring pan so I used a square one. That is my fault, not hers. It tasted like it'd be good but it's hard to tell with an over baked, dry bread. Sorry, I wouldn't make this again.
