    This recipe makes a fabulous carrot cake. The only change I made was to cut the powdered sugar in the cream cheese icing (used only 1/4 of the amount) and next time I make it, I will double the amount of cream cheese frosting because it wasn't really enough to coat both the sides and the top adequately

    The most delicious carrot cake ever. Remember it from the original days of The Frog/Commissary in Phillly. Agree that Pecan filling while time consuming is absolutely worth the time and effort

    This cake is time-consuming but well worth it. It's pretty amazing! I first tried this cake at a party and the hostess, who makes it all the time, told me where she got the recipe. I bought the book just to have the recipe and to check out what other treasures might be in the book.

    This is the best carrot cake! Preparation is time consuming, spanning two days, but the result is well worth the effort. Do NOT skip the pecan cream filling, it is a key component in the unique richness of the cake. I've had people offer to pay me to make this for special events. LOVE it!

    A lot of work, but worth it. I have skipped the filling (and used the cream cheese frosting as filling) and that's good, too, and saves a lot of time.

    The pecan butter cream filling adds a day to preparations but is worth it!
