If you are looking for a not too sweet carrot cake recipe which only uses 1/2 cup of oil and is still tantalizingly moist, this is a great recipe to try. I typically increase the amount of grated carrots and almost always add some chopped crystallized ginger which is a nice surprise. The cake uses maple syrup(I use Grade B) as some of the sweetener and even the cream cheese frosting has maple syrup in it. I reduce the amount it calls for in the frosting because I do not want the maple flavor to be overpowering. This cake is very dependable, quite easy to make and has an open mind...it is always ready for a new addition or interpretation!
