I received this recipe from the mother of a patient I cared for back in 1972 in St. Paul, Minnesota. It was, and is, the best carrot cake I have ever tasted. It's requested for many family gatherings and celebrations. -Becky Wachob, Kelly, Wyoming

I'm not a big fan of cream cheese frosting, but this recipe is the exception. It's light and fluffy, and pairs perfectly with the carrot cake.

This cake is a classic for a reason. It's moist, flavorful, and has the perfect amount of sweetness. I highly recommend it.

I love this carrot cake recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out perfectly. I've made it for birthdays, potlucks, and just because.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but it was still very good. I think next time I'll try using a different type of flour.

I'm not a big fan of carrot cake, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting is to die for.

This cake was a disaster! The frosting was too runny and the cake itself was undercooked. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add more spices, like cinnamon and nutmeg.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think next time I'll try using less sugar.
