“I baked this delicious dessert for Easter...I used Trader Joe's gluten free flour. I also added a few raisins. If I make it again, I'll probably get fancier and add the suggested coconut and walnuts, and maybe a little pineapple, too. I used 2 ounces of carrot” — a cook, 5.0★
“This was pretty tasty and perfect for an unplanned desert after a nice Christmas meal! I have to say that the frosting was very much on the sweet side - and too much for me (I don't tend to like super sweet sweets) . My boyfriend loved it though! I didn't have” — a cook, 4.0★
