To torlan – I’ve never used just PAM on my pans. I’ve always buttered and floured my pans and also used buttered parchment rounds. I have a lot of luck with Baker’s Secret or Crisco with Flour for my baked goods, but not PAM. Good luck!

The flavor was spot-on, classic carrot cake – delicious! But, I had an issue with the cake not rising evenly. I will probably give it another try soon though!

i made this the other night with some unbleached king arthur white whole wheat flour. it was absolutely delicious! i substituted grated apples for carrots and left out any raisins or nuts. i also used my own recipe for frosting. great recipe! cake came out very moist!

I’ve made this twice now in round cake pans, and both times it was almost impossible to get out of the pans, even though I sprayed liberally with PAM. Any suggestions? I did put slightly more carrots in (2 1/2 cups), so maybe that’s the problem.

This is the first review I have posted- I HAD to come say what a great recipe this was! I did make some substitutions (applesauce for half the oil) and use pecans. I doubled the cream cheese and butter, but didn’t quite double the sugar- more like 1 1/2 times.
SO GOOD!

perfect carrot cake – though i did leave out nuts and raisins. i like a plain, smooth cake. also the frosting wasn’t cream cheese-y enough for me so i doubled the amount of cream cheese and kept everything else the same. so good!

This was the very first cake I have ever made from scratch. Very good! The frosting was divine. We skipped the nuts and I served it as a birthday cake for my boyfriend. He loved it.

Delicious! I made mine with pecans (and no raisins) and it is fabulous. I also added some carrot juice to the frosting to add a bit of color. It really is great!

so delicious! i made this for easter and it was a big hit. i used whole wheat flour, and only half the butter in the frosting, and it was amazing. thanks for sharing!
