This cake is good, but if it were just up to me, I'd say 4 stars. Judging by how fast it's disappearing, though, my husband has it down for about 8 and a half. So, I'm compromising. I think my problem is that I first had carrot cake made with whole wheat flour, and to me, that's what the texture should be like. I would also add just a bit more cinnamon next time. I did add a similar amount of minced dried pineapple because that was what I had on hand. That seemed to work well. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. I'm sure I'll be nagged into making it again.

CL this cake turned out so good! I made two of these cakes tonight, one to take over to a friend's house tomorrow, and one to freeze. I made it tonight as I think this cake will taste even better the following day, left overnight in the fridge. I made mine in a tube pan, used nuts and raisins, and increased the cinnamon by 1/2 tsp....this recipe will go into my favorites, and will be repeated many times. Thank you so much for sharing....Kitten:)

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
