Ive used this recipe several times and it turns out great every time, even at high altitude (Colorado). Great cake!

This is now the only carrot cake recipe I need, and my husband loves carrot cake. Delicious! Id reduce the sugar by half and use it as a breakfast bread since the ingredients are simple and wholesome!

I have been baking carrot cakes and my friends love them.
In your recipe I noticed that you use pineapple. I will also try using the pineapple next time I bake the cake. I am sure it would add to the taste.

My first attempt was a bit of a failure. The cake is very dense with a pudding-like texture. I used fresh carrots & a pineapple-drained obsessively & followed the recipe accordingly. I will make another attempt & will repost my results. I'm still giving it 4*

Since you are using carrots, which are a natural ingredient, it is quite possible that they had a high level of moisture which released during baking. Try reducing the oil to 1/4-cup or, if the carrots seem significantly juicy, try eliminating it all together.

We've tried a few different carrot cake recipes over the years, but since trying this one we've never needed another. The only change we make is to substitute coconut oil for the canola oil.
