Made per recipe. Very wet batter (even after draining pineapple) and the "8 carrots" direction is not helpful considering the range in size of carrots and the varying amount of shredded carrot you would get. Also had to add almost 3/4 cup of milk to icing just to take it from a paste to something you could ice the cake with. Will not use this recipe again.
