Great cake. Easy to make. Took the cake to work and two people asked for the recipe. Made with lactose free cream cheese as the icing.
This carrot cake is the BEST! Everyone loves this cake - I tend to use the cream cheese icing from Cookidoo (replace vanilla with lemon zest and juice). Cake is moist and devine - thank you for sharing this recipe
My go to for Easter. Will be making it again this year. Not a crumb is left on the plate when I serve it. Thoroughly recommend.

When they said best ever carrot and walnut cake that's not an exaggeration. Not only was it a big cake but on day 5 it was as delicious as day 1. The icing was incredible and not too sweet. This is definitely on my list to make again and again. Everyone who tried it absolutely loved it
This is definitely a 5 Star cake. Made this for a party and was a huge hit. Absolutely delicious
Absolutely delicious. I baked it in a loaf tin and 8 mini loaf tins. Will be making this again
Great recipe! I used a small baking dish and the Cookidoo Cream Cheese Icing, adding lemon juice instead of vanilla.
