This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The cake was dry and flavorless.

I don't know what went wrong, but my cake turned out really dense and heavy.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try making it with less sugar next time.

I've tried many carrot cake recipes in the past, but this one is by far the best. It's perfectly moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting is to die for. I will definitely be making this cake again and again.
