  Great cake, very quick and easy - didn't bother with the fine grate either, or sieving the sugar - just gave it a good mix round abd broke up any lumpy bits. BRILLIANT!!

  This is so easy, just chuck it all in a bowl and mix. My wife is a Resturaunt manager and the staff and chefs ask her to get me to make this nearly every week. YUMMY.

  Simply scrumptious and very easy to make. I LOVE cream cheese frosting. However, I did manage to grate my knuckle with the carrots. I guess it's my own fault because at 29 years old I thought I didn't need an "adult helper"...looks like I was wrong!!! ;)

  This recipe was almost perfect - simple to make with very young kids, moist and delicious. I would recommend adding 1 tsp of vanilla essence to the cream cheese topping though.

  SPLODGEMEISTER: I've discovered only recently how to grate without including my knuckles - and I'm 64, which is even worse. When the item (cheese, carrot etc) gets too small to hold safely put it in the palm of your hand and grate that way, usually right down to the last sliver. I'm about to make this cake for the first time; wish there was some way we could upload our photos.

  I made this for my Dad's birthday and it was great :D So easy to make. I forgot about the orange completely until I had put the cake in the oven so I just put a little of the juice and zest in the topping instead. Its moist, light, easy and delicious! I think it'll be my new carrot cake recipe.

  this recipe is absolutely fool proof !!! This is my second one this week and it has gone down a treat. I am going to make it using gluten free flour for my niece as her two young boys are coeliacs.
