CARROT LAYER CAKE
My sister gave me this recipe for what she calls "the ultimate carrot cake," and it really lives up to the name. When people taste it, they're bowled over by the tender, not-too-sweet cake and unexpected pecan filling. -Linda Van Holland, Innisfail, Alberta

[email protected]This cake was a disaster! The cake was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was creamy and smooth. I would recommend using less sugar in the frosting next time.
