The BEST Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

In my version, I used gluten-free baking flour instead of regular flour, coconut oil, and coconut sugar in place of brown sugar, just because that’s what I had on hand. I tried the cake batter and found it a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the sugar in the cream cheese frosting by 50%. I’m glad I did. Otherwise, the recipe is perfect!

Delicious! Very easy for beginner bakers. I'm not a beginner but this was my first carrot cake and first double layer cake. I added some chopped pecans in the batter and on the top. Hubby gives 2 thumbs up.

Not a cake expert. Don’t know how to not get the crumbs in the frosting. Besides the way it looks this is the best carrot cake I’ve ever tried to make. I used yogurt instead of applesauce. And 1/4 cup of coconut oil and 1/2 cup of other oil. Yum yum yum.

I didn't have applesauce so I substituted plain greek yogurt. I liked that it wasn't overly sweet, and it has, as my wife put it, "a bright flavor."

This was absolutely the most delicious recipe ever. I'm going to make it again this weekend.

I didn't have applesauce so I used a banana instead. Also didn't use as much granulated sugar. It's a tasty recipe for sure.

This was so delicious!!

Please please please do not use canola oil in anything you are going to eat

Super yummy. Making it again 2 days later lol

I put only 1 1/4 c sugar in total, not 2 c.

Cooking at high altitude here but the only changes I made were one additional egg and I doubled the frosting recipe. I also added walnuts because its carrot cake soooo, yeah! Delicious 😋

Take my word for it, this recipe is delicious. I have no pics because I'm ashamed of my icing skills 😭. I was impatient and iced it before the cakes completely cooled. So yeah... Mine looked like death, but tasted heavenly.

I made this exactly as stated and added 3/4c of chopped pecans to the mix and it was so amazing. The icing was really really good with the cake. My go to recipe now.

Perfect cake

This was the best cake I've made so far! So soft and moist, it's got a very lovely texture. I made my own applesauce and also candied some pistachios for the top!
