Finely shredding the carrots gives this cake an extra-nice texture. The walnuts sprinkled on top add crunch, but you can leave them off if you prefer. -Pamela Brown, Williamsburg, Michigan

I wouldn't recommend this cake. It was a lot of work and the end result wasn't worth it.

This cake was just okay. It wasn't as moist as I expected and the flavor was a bit bland.

I was disappointed with this cake. The chocolate and carrot flavors didn't really go together and the cake was too dry.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try adding some extra moisture next time.
