  Wow, this was my first attempt at Carrot Cake and it'll be the only one I bother with. Can't wait to make it again. So easy to make, gorgeous taste, moist and light. Absolutely yummy. The topping goes so well with it, I used a light soft cheese and it worked really well. Thank you James Martin!!

  Wonderfully moist and delicious. I have made this twice now, and it's already a family favourite.

  I made this last week for a charity coffee morning and proved very popular so made today for the family and even my 11 yr old who doesn't usually do fruity cakes of any sort said it was Lush!!

  This is a lovely, easy, moist loaf. I doubled the self raising flour as I did not have any wholemeal self raising and it still had a great colour, and I halfed the Cinnamon and mixed spice, as I thought it would be too heavily spiced for my taste. Baked mine for 50 mins, and have also made it with Gluten free self raising flour, which also worked really well.

  Really nice and easy for an absolute beginner and absolutely delicious!! Many thanks. PS. I didn´t have any mixed spice so I used a little ginger grated finely instead.

  Do you think it would be possible to use a round cake tin to make this? I am taking cakes in to work as it was my birthday and would love to try this recipe out

  The cake was delicious, light flavoursome, could really taste the orange coming through...absolutely delicious. The topping however was disaster... Served as a separate sauce, very sloppy even after adding more icing sugar. What did I do wrong? Should I have used full fat soft cheese instead of light or did I mix it too much re a previous reviewer. Would definitely make again though.

  Wow, this is so nice! I'd never made a carrot cake before but this is so easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly and cooked it for 1 hour and everyone said how nice it was. It didn't last long!

  I simply love this recipe, the cake was light and moist will definitely bake this again. The topping is better mixed by hand so you can control the texture.

  This is a delicious cake and a bit unusual in case you want to impress your family and friends. The only thing I would do differently is less oil.

  This recipe is absoloutly superb. I made this for my mum for mothers day and it came out perfect. I didn't use all of the recommended oil amount in the recipe because i felt it was a little too much, so instead, i used about 80ml of sunflower oil and it still came out amazing. This cake is lovely and moist and i'm very pleased with it. Thankyou:D
