I made this recipe this past weekend for my daughter's birthday. It was wonderful! But I did substitute sugar free applesauce for the oil & I used a bundt pan. I had to bake it for 50 minutes, but it turned out great! Everyone raved about it!

Made it for church and it was a hit! I replaced the oil with pear puree from grandma's pear preserves, made my own carrot puree while making baby food, and changed one cup of sugar with brown sugar! Moist and delicious. All gone in one day.

I've been pleasing my family with you wonderful recipes for years. I even thought if purchase your cookware that it just might taste even better. I just wanted to say thank you for helping me getting around in the kitchen. My family knows that its all about the butter. We southern girls love butter! I love your glow when you cook. Thank! Happy New Year!

Paula, I absolutely love this recipe! Every time I make this cake, my family goes wild, and we are a family of marvelous cooks. I am so glad I found it on your site. I lost your "Lady & Sons" cookbook that I originally found this recipe in, so I am overjoyed to have it again. My cousin has put in a special Thanksgiving request for this specific cake. I love your show and every recipe I have ever tried has been a huge success. My daughters love your Wild Rice Shrimp casserole and are always begging me to make it. I wish you continued success. God Bless.

Love this recipe . This recipe has been in our family for years:) Not once have I ever come across a recipe for carrot cake made with carrot baby food until yours! This would make my mom smile. She died so young at age 45 in 1970. Thankfully she had written down this family recipe before she died and we make it several times a year. Its the best, so very moist:) Everyone should try this great recipe.

Paula, you are so sweet to share all the time. I love this cake and did add some gratted carrot and to make it even moister, added crushed pineapple. If you want my aunt's recipe I certainly would share it called Carrot Pineapple Cake.

By Charles Smith on August 21, 2011

I love all of your recipes Paula. I tried one out yestarday, Pulled pork. We loved it. Thank you for being a southern girl. I love your network show.

This comment is not about the recipe although it sounds delish. I used to make one similar to this but it included nuts and a jar of baby food prunes...now prunes are difficult to find in the baby food section. My comment is re what that food taster/chef said to you about you being the worst thing on television regarding food (that's not verbatim, but whatever his comment was). Anyway, I thought that was tacky on his part to make such a rude remark about you, and I loved your comment that someone must have peed in his cereal!!! Way to hand it back to him, Paula. Your cooking style may not be his cooking style, but it takes all kinds, and I'm sure I prefer your cooking over his any day. He is probably a "city slicker" and doesn't know what good food is. My son is living in NYC and he, being from small town USA and from the south as well, is really getting an education from dealing with some of the people with whom he comes in contact. But, don't let that fellow get the best of you...you are above all his mean comments!!

By Barbara H. Kiker on August 21, 2011
