Do you guys have any really good carrot cake recipes? I have one that I really like, but I'm looking for more to try! My favorite carrot cake lets the carrot taste shine through, without added nuts or raisins. What do you guys like?

This is my favorite recipe: http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2008/12/carrot-cake-with-maple-cream-cheese-frosting/
I like its simplicity and deliciousness. Although I would recommend following the directions and using white sugar. Substituting brown sugar does not work. Additionally, the frosting recipe is not as good as nomal cream cheese frosting.

I do not have a favorite recipe but wanted to mention here that carrot cake is the only way I like cream cheese frosting. I think it is gross in every other instance.

I agree with Jennywren. Carrot cake must be smothered in cream cheese frosting. I make my frosting with vanilla bean flakes. I recently saw a carrot cake recipe in a magazine touting it as low fat. They accomplished this by removing the nuts. I have issues with this as that is one of the redeeming health qualities of the cake. This is my favorite recipe: http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/sour-cream-carrot-cake-4864 I tend to add chopped nuts, and extra spices.
