I was skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was creamy and tangy. I will definitely be making this cake again!

I've made this cake several times and it always turns out perfectly. It's a great recipe for using up extra carrots, and the orange flavor is a nice twist on the classic carrot cake.

This orange-carrot cake was a delightful surprise! The orange flavor was subtle and perfectly complemented the sweetness of the carrots. The cake was moist and fluffy, and the cream cheese frosting was the perfect finishing touch.
