A less-dense and wonderfully moist carrot cake with canned mandarin oranges rather than pineapple. A friend shared the recipe with me and I made it to celebrate the birth of my son (a birthday cake). It tastes best if you let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake turned out dry and crumbly. The frosting was also too sweet for my taste. I would not recommend this recipe.

This was the best carrot cake I've ever had! The cake was incredibly moist and the frosting was light and fluffy. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this carrot cake for my family's Easter gathering and it was a huge hit! It was moist, flavorful, and had just the right amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again for future celebrations.
