quick and relatively easy to make. Followed the recipe to the letter including weighing the ingredients, but didn’t achieve much of a rise. Batter tasted fantastic and icing a well. Just waiting for it to cool!

In reply to Danielle. Hey Danielle. It shouldn't change that much. You can start by adding 1/4 cup of seedless raisins and mix it in, then check to see if that's enough. If not then add another 1/4 cup. Hope it turns out the way your friend wants it :)

Hello! I have never tried my hand at making carrot cake before, and this looks doable for me. But the person who requested it from me said carrot cake HAS to have raisins in it… help! I don’t want to find a different recipe, but not sure how much to add and how this would change things??

In reply to Mandy. Hi Mandy! Glad to hear you enjoyed the cake! When you make it again, if the batter is too dry, then leave the batter to stand for longer and then mix it up again. The carrots will have released more moisture into the batter allowing it to come together into a thick batter. Also try not to overmix :)

I made this delicious carrot cake and it lasted just 2 days !I’m ashamed to say as there’s just myself and my husband at home ! I did find the batter dry and the cake was a bit biscuit-like ( not a bad thing in my opinion ), however once I had filled & frosted it it was absolutely fine . Will definitely make it again – soon!

In reply to Alexis. Hi Alexis. We only tested the recipe with flaxseed, but some people in the comments have mentioned that they substituted the flaxseed with 1/2 cup apple sauce and the cake turned out great.

Hello –

Is it possible to replace the flaxseed with apple sauce? And if so, could you recommend quantities? Thank you and very grateful for your recipes.

This was my first time trying a recipe from your site, and it was a hit! The cake is so moist and delicious, and the lemon icing was better than a “cream cheese” icing. I followed the recipe exactly, (even using Apple cider vinegar) and it came out perfectly. I will keep this recipe and use it again and again. I look forward to trying more recipes from your site. Thank you!
