"I made one of these to take into work on monday this week and it went down so well I had to make another to take in on Tuesday ! and have since had people ask when I will bring the next one. It completely disrupted the office for the best part of two days and has been minuted in a management meeting as the best cake ever !!! I did change two things though and that was to leave out the raisins using slightly more carrots instead and I made a cream cheese icing rather than the orange juice and icing sugar version in the recipe."

"i cooked these last night for myself and my fussy eater husband and to my surprise husband ate them all and then refused a pudding ! To add to my surprise today he commented how nice they were ! i have to admit though I didnt tell him ( and he didnt ask ) that they contained chickpeas till he had taken a bite. He professes not to like chickpeas. I agree about the missing onion but I was lucky because I have the Goodfood magazine where the recipe originally appeared.Also I did add a little more flour then the recipe mentions partly because I was out of kitchen paper so couldnt dry the chick peas."
