lovely moist cake without the baking soda aftertaste often found in carrot cakes. Would have been even better with cream cheese icing but I figured this defeated the low-fat side I rated as moderate because I find beating eggs a pain in the butt, and using the blender is also extra work. - 14 Sep 2010
