Jeff and Jaime (Texas) says:

We just got done with the recipe above and wow !! We were astonished at the results, two things, first - we substituted baking soda for the baking powder, and second - we did not have nutmeg (still turned out great tho). Two thumbs up from us !!

This was the best carrot cake I have ever had! The icing is great. I made it for my brothers birthday cuz he asked me to make it since it was so good.

Randa (South Carolina) says:

Great-tasting and easy. I also substituted baking powder for baking soda. Maybe it was just my oven, but I had to bake it for closer to 50 minutes (using a tube pan).

James (Colorado) replies:

Just like Randa, I'm baking it for closer to an hour. Though I do live in Grand Junction, CO where the elevation is high.. Smells delicious, and was very easy to make.

Wow this is the best carrot cake I have ever made. People have been fighting over that is how good it is. Except I didn't put the pecans in it since I am allergic. But man was that good.Its so moist. And amazing. I've made it like 7 times now. In cake form and cupcake form but I just wanted to say that it is very good and thanks.
