I personally like the Frog Commissary recipe. Not sure if the link I just gave is the same recipe I've made, but it looks like it. Amy

Amy, do you reduce the baking powder by half due to altitude? I'm at 5000 feet or a bit better. What would you recommend?

You wouldn't need to go that much...but, it may take a little playing around to get it just right. I'd start at 25% reduction and see how it turns out. SilverSage wrote: That looks really good! Amy

I like CI's recipe but I do up the spices so it's less bland.
The Frog Commissary recipe looks really good, especially that pecan cream filling!

DH loves carrot cake and when I found "Berta's Carrot Tea Cake" recipe in Sheila Lukins' "Ten" cookbook, I knew I'd struck gold. This recipe appeared in one of the original Silver Plate books and has always received rave reviews. This recipe makes a 9x5 loaf cake and can be frosted top only or over the entire cake. Now DH is a happy man and I don't have to worry about what to do with a huge carrot cake.
Google "Berta's Carrot Tea Cake" for the recipe.

I like CI's recipe -- the old one with the browned butter.

Thanks everyone for sharing....Amy, the recipe calls for a 10" tube pan but then says, "cut into 3 layers"...I assume this is an 8" cake...the cake looks really good...Silversage...wow, beautiful cake!!...thanks again!
