These are absolutely delicious and I have made them quite a few times. My only recommendation is if you are not a fan of really sweet desserts like me, reduce the sugar to about 2/3 cup. I also add a little good quality cinna,on to the batter because I love cinnamon with carrot. Yummm Have a batch in the oven right now.
