I found this cake to to very moist and tasty. My six year old son enjoyed it and didn't believe there was carrot in there. Unlike a lot of gluten free cakes I found it stays fresh and moist, I will definitely make it again. - 03 Nov 2011
Made this yesterday - very nice though not sure how it justifies being sugar free. I made it using fruit sugar and it was fine - 18 Jul 2011 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
