Americans do love their cakes with lots of sweet icing, but it is optional.

i guess that may be true generally speaking but i think the tang of the cream cheese frosting on a classic carrot cake is classic because it rules that way. also helps retain moisture. and obviously if you are making it you are free to control sweetness to a certain degree. xpost

where carrot cake is concerned, there are no bad choices

no doubt. the recipe made a really wet batter (tried to be very meticulous with measuring, but it's always a bit of a crapshoot when nothing is , guess). cooking it at a lower heat now and hoping for the sweet, carrot-y dreaminess to end up ok

That recipe rules. There's a bit more egg and sugar than the one posted upthread but that's fine with me. The nutmeg and ginger really elevate the thing. And finely grating the carrots is a great tip, they just melt right in and make a uniform product
