I followed the recipe exactly and my carrot cake turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I was very disappointed.

This carrot cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe. The cake was moist and fluffy, and the frosting was creamy and tangy. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the frosting next time.
