And I have to say, this is one of the best carrot cakes I've EVER had! Thanks deb :). Oh also, it's mothers day here, and as my mom sat in front of the TV with cake in hand and coffee in the other, she said "This is the best mother's day ever!" Though I think that also has to do with that concert we went to last night. Hehe~ Although I DID have only 2 1/2 cups of carrots. And after I finished baking I realized that the 1/2 cup was still sitting in the cup! *oops* And I added fresh ginger instead, and also used my Ginger Cream Cheese Frosting instead of the maple one. So I guess it turned out more of a spiced cake with cream cheese frosting instead of carrot cake? Oh well~ I am eating this cake,right now, as I write this.

I wanted to make this as a 2 layer 9" cake, but slice the layers in half to make 4 thin layers. Will I need to double the maple frosting recipe for 4 thin layers? Or is the quantity of frosting in a single recipe enough? If you could please give me some advice on this ASAP. Many thanks! Hi Deb!

He was skeptical that a cake with carrots could taste good, but after his first bite he was in love with them. We made these into both mini muffin and regular cupcake sizes. This is the moistest carrot cake that I've ever! My family and friends loved them. They are delicious even w/o the frosting (but I can't resist piping it on) . I can't wait to make it into a 9" cake.

It was a hit! Thanks for helping me impress the MIL, Deb :) For what it's worth, I used only 1 cup of oil; added half a can of [drained] shredded pineapple; and made the cream cheese frosting w/o maple syrup. Also wish that I'd doubled the cinnamon for some extra spice.

I've just made this and they don't taste much of carrot, but I think it's because I didn't grate them fine or thin enough. But my real question is what did you do for them to look so orange and pretty? Mine look brownish and didn't overbake them or anything :/ Any input will be most helpful! I'm eager to try more recipes from your site :) Greetings. Hello! I’ve just made this and they don’t taste much of carrot, but I think it’s because I didn’t grate them fine or thin enough.

This time it was epic in a 20x20 pan and again, came out perfect as always. I am indebted to you and whenever anyone tries to sing my praises for how impressive this one is, I immediately pass all credit on to you. Thank you for making an indefinite number of birthdays and celebrations in my life shine! Deb, I just made this cake for probably the 12th or 15th time.
