Wonderful cake - great flavor and beautiful color. I made this for our Easter celebration and everyone really enjoyed it. I haven't used baby food in awhile (my baby is in Jr. High) so I was surprised to find it sold in small plastic tubs. The weight on each tub was 3.5 ounces so I put it all into the batter (14 ounces total in carrots) and reduced the oil to just 1 cup to balance the "liquid" called for in the recipe. This worked great. I'll be saving this recipe to use for our family gatherings and to take for potlucks. Thanks Chicagoland Chef du Jour!
