    This was so fabulous tasting. I doesn't even taste like a sugar free dessert. Very rich and Iserved it to my boyfriend and he couldn't tell the difference. Being a Diabetic it's hard to find dessert recipes that are actually delicious. I love it!! - 2/25/08

    This was pretty good! I only had 1 c of cream cheese, so I used 1/2 c of strawberry fat free cream cheese and it ended up being really good. I also used white flour, as it was all I had... - 6/3/09

    sorry , but splenda and other no cal sweeteners are poison to your body . skip tthe frosting altogether and add a coule spoons full of non fat vanilla greek yogurt on top of eack piece instead . soooo much better for you - 9/26/13

    O.K.
    Had been looking forward to making and tasting this cake for two weeks. Was pretty disappointed. I agree it does taste more like a big muffin. Does not have the moistness I love from a regular carrot cake. Guess it will do, but had much higher hopes for this recipe. :( - 7/17/12

    Splenda and all those other sweeteners are even worse than sugar. Any one know of a better alternative like stevia or raw sugars and the amounts to use? - 4/25/12

    Would it work just as well to use regular cream cheese in the frosting as to use fat free cream cheese and then add butter? - 6/15/10

    It's not bad. I agree that it doesn't take like carrot cake and does taste more like a bran muffin. It's still a nice treat. - 4/9/09

    It was very moist and tasted good but I think I will leave out the raisins next time as I don't care for them. I used fresh ground nutmeg....delicious! - 2/8/08

    This wasn't bad at all. I left out a lot of stuff, because my family frowns upon extra things in their food, but it was eaten fairly quickly. - 3/19/07

    I didn't think it tasted like carrot cake. But I agree with MELINDACRISTINE that it was edible but it did taste more like a bran muffin with frosting. I think next time I am going to try some Splenda for baking, see if I can make it taste better. - 3/17/07

    It did not taste anything like Carrot Cake. It was edible, and good, but it tasted more like a bran muffin with frosting on top. - 3/12/07

    How much splenda is in a packet? It is sold by the jar over here. - 3/12/07

    This actually made a cake big enough to become 2 cakes. It was very good. The icing was very sweet for sugar free. It was easy to make and a nice treat for those that dont eat refined sugar. - 3/10/07
