    Cake was good but the icing I had to scrape it off the cake. Only thing I could figure out, is I used the soft cream cheese not the block.

    I am currently eating a piece of your amazing carrot cake for breakfast and loving it! For those with egg allergies, I successfully subbed four flax eggs – FYI. Thank you!

    I’m making this now, but when it says to pour into the pan it is thick. Is this the way it is?

      On my computer, I simply highlight the recipe and ‘right click’. A box pops up and you can select ‘print’ and the recipe prints off nicely. 🙂

    Would the new baking blend replace all of the flour in this recipe, cup by cup?
