Definitely not a raisin lover in my carrot cake, but that looks delicious Rookie! I'll be making that for my Sunday treat.

Whitney, you&#39;re nice. Maybe one day we&#39;ll live close to each other and I&#39;ll take you up on the offer. My mom always makes her own birthday cake (German Chocolate, yum) so I guess I never thought it was weird.<br /><br />Oh, and I&#39;m sorry your week has been anything but fun. Really sorry.

@Jessica - I make my own birthday cake too. If I want it to taste good, I have to be the one to do it. Too bad you don&#39;t live closer. Truly, I would make you this cake for your birthday. Really- I would.<br /><br />BTW, just thought I would let you all know that being pregnant and moving and having a husband with a potential kidney stone is about the least fun a girl can have.

Sad, Sparks? <br /><br />Maybe a little. <br /><br />But if the husband made it, I&#39;m not sure it would go well. Which would be even more sad. Because then I&#39;d have a crappy cake on my birthday. My freaking 30th birthday. Boo. Hoo.

Hate raisins! I want carrot cake but, um, did I mention I hate raisins, which means I never eat carrot cake. Guess I need to make one for myself so I can leave OUT the raisins.<br />~ingrid

p.s. Rookie, I&#39;m very excited about this carrot cake. I always make one for my birthday, but I may need to try this one out early. You know, give it a test run?

Sparks: Yet another thing we agree on. Raisins should not be in baked goods. They should be eaten directly from the raisin box and should never be found anywhere else.

Good luck with the move! My boyfriend is a huge fan of carrot cake so I will definitely be trying out this recipe - sans raisins.

I embrace raisins. SPH? A raisin hater through and through. <br /><br />I knew I was your favorite person. :)<br /><br />Good luck with the move. We moved when I was about 22 weeks pregnant with Graham and it was difficult. Will pray it goes smoothly.

You know, Azucario, we agree on the important things. Like how people who mess with your CJane deserve to be pulverized, verbally or otherwise, and that Rookie is worth reading and that big earrings are spectacular and that people who buy Peppermint Snow deserve what they get.

No raisins, please no. Raisins are a guaranteed way for me to spare myself extra calories from what would otherwise be quickly-consumed baked goodness.

So, I just made carrot cake last week as a side cake for my cousin&#39;s wedding. Anywho...I love raisins in anything, but with my carrot cake I usually do 1 cup craisins, 1 cup pulverized coconut, 1 cup chopped pecans, and NO pineapple. Sorry, I can&#39;t do the pineapple. I&#39;ll eat it if someone else makes it, but I don&#39;t do it in mine. (We&#39;re still friends, right?)<br /><br />I

RAISINS! I embrace! <br /><br />It seems that Sparks and I are again at an impasse. <br /><br />I especially love those plump golden raisins in cakes and cookies, YUM. Dark raisins should be plumped before adding to anything.<br /><br />My mother in law makes oatmeal cookies and puts in chocolate covered raisins. Stroke of GENIUS! Try the Costco brand.<br /><br />Amen.

I love raisins and my husband does not. I might make this with one 9inch pan with and one without. Oh and no nuts because I am allergic so no one gets them.

No raisins--yuck! No nuts--yuck! (plus, I&#39;m allergic) and No pineapple--yuck! What can I say? I&#39;m a purist. It&#39;s just me and the carrots, baby. And a ton of cream cheesey goodness on top.

I&#39;m honored. Speechless, really. You just made my freaking month! I think you&#39;re a genius.....more pineapple.....duh....i always have this little container of pineapple in the deep recesses of my freezer because of this recipe.....just waiting to be remembered (and always forgotten) for something else. And vanilla.......awesome! I don&#39;t mind one bit.<br /><br />As for raisins,
