Can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream. See recipe for a variation. Chill before serving.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Everyone loved this but I am on the fence. Huckleberry's is much better and so is Marie's. The cc frosting is not as good as my go to. Having said this, it comes together easily, is relatively healthy and could easily be adapted to GF. Next time consider adding pineapple in place of sugar and subbing my go to frosting. Add lemon to frosting in place of nuts.

Rave reviews at an extended family dinner. Loved it cold. I would next time chop the dates by hand rather than letting them ball up in the food processor, which made it difficult to distribute into the batter. The cream cheese frosting was delicious.

The texture is great and I loved the frosting but it was too sweet for my taste. I would use much less sugar next time.

My husband doesn't bake, but made this for me for Mother's Day. The best carrot cake we've ever had, and perfect with her simple cream cheese frosting. Lightly sweet and a lovely crumb.
