  This is my son's favourite cake and he said it was the best he had ever tasted. It tasted even better a day after making. The recipe didn't state how much bicarb to put in so I put in 1 teasp and it was fine. Also I did leave out the pineapple. A fantastic carrot cake!

  I substituted the pineapple with pieces of roughly chopped dried apricot- went really nicely! I also added some nutmeg alongside the cinammon to give even more flavour.. Also worked well. Again, like other people, found it needed longer cooking time then as described.

  Well I don't know where I went wrong, I thought it was cooked as the skewer came out clean...but that was because when I turned it out the inside had not even begun to cook, I have just had to bin it, the top was firm, the sides were cooked, I have never had a cake turn out so badly.

  The recipe was great, I didn't use the Walnuts but I added some coconut instead which gave it the X factor. Tastes fantastic and is so easy to make. I would recommend this cake to anyone, and if your new at the whole baking thing like me its a good starter!

  This is a super carrot cake, I'd not made it before for thinking that it would be difficult to make, but it is amazingly easy! I omitted the walnuts and the pineapple from the recipe, and it was delicious! The cream topping will leave you scraping the bowl!! Only thing is I baked it in an electric fan oven and it only too 40 minutes to bake, so keep checking the cake! (may have been my cake tin wasn't as deep as what was recommended though!)

  nice cake but it did take longer to cook than was stated , i didnt put pineapple in it but i did add extra sugar and it still wasn't too sweet , it does need the cream frosting on top to set it off nicely. i will make it again.

  Help! I just made this cake, I am quite a novice at baking. I used a 20cm x 5cm tin, so thought I'd half the quantities for half the depth, and bake for half the time. Although the cake tastes delicious, it hasn't risen very much, can anyone suggest where I've gone wrong? The skewer came out clear. The topping, again although tasted nice, looked like baby sick. Any advice would be most welcome, as my cake baking skills are very much in their infancy!!

  Made this cake for a friends birthday. It went down a storm and he now wants me to make him a cake every birthday. Very easy to make, although the preparation takes a while. I'm cooking another one this week for an 18th birthday, lets hope it goes just as well!

  Really easy to make. Took a little longer to cook. I sliced it in half, put cream cheese in the middle and butter icing on the top. It was really good.
