    would prefer it without the sugar, which isn't really needed: carrots are quite sweet anyway. How about some nutmeg for extra taste? - 3/3/10

    I agree with some of the earlier posts...could do without sugar. I would think substituting with either Splenda or Stevia would be a good option but how would it affect texture. Also, instead of regular white flour, could either wheat, soy or almond Flour be used? would this affect texture/baking? - 3/3/10

    Way too much sugar! 1/4 c. should be enough. For variety, particularly with Easter lamb, I add chopped or dried mint to the carrots. Delish! - 3/3/10

    It does amaze me to see this & some of the recipes on a website for loosing weight & eating healthful foods! how about replacing several of the ingredients to make this better: no sugar, use molasses or honey. Whole wheat flour, greek yogurt instead of the sour cream. And coconut oil not butter. - 10/16/11

    This recipe makes quite a bit. I used only 1/4 cup of sugar and baked it for 65 minutes, which was not too much. I meant to add a dash of nutmeg but forgot, so I sprinkled a bit on top in lieu of the powdered sugar. It came out great, so I'm glad we have leftovers. - 3/4/10

    I liked this! Will try to cut it down to a smaller batch, though. ;-D Like the description says, is comparable to sweet potato casserole but really light, especially with whipping up the eggs! - 3/3/10

    I think I would do this without the sugar and with an egg substitute. I don't like carrots, but I know they are really good for you, so I will give this a try... - 3/3/10

    I might like to try this as a savory rather than a sweet dish: Skip the sugars and vanilla in favor of herbs and/or spices that complement carrots. - 10/16/11

    I make this as a vegetable not a dessert. I cook it in a ring and put green peas in the center it always goes over well. I too think many of these recipes use too much sugar or artifiical sweeteners. If people reduce their need for sugar or sweetener they will find foods have wonderful flavors. - 10/16/11

    This was SO FABULOUS! Everyone loved it and it's going to become a new Christmas tradition at the meal. I made it exactly like the recipe but forgot the icing sugar. Next time I would probably lessen the sugar but it's really good. - 12/25/10
