Reader Review

“This recipe is incredible, and has now become my go-to carrot cake! I’ve made it twice, firstly as a loaf cake, and then as a two-tier 8-inch cake with added toasted pecans (I increased the ingredient quantities and adjusted the cooking time), and they were both a total success. Neither my guests, nor myself for that matter, could believe that it wasn’t a normal, full-fat, high-sugar cake. Thank you so much for this recipe, I look forward to making it again! ” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
