Hi Allen MI, I agree about the whipping of egg whites, it does introduce air,which is great for some cakes, but for this certain carrot cake, you just beat in the whole eggs,the texture of the cake is a moist soft cake, and the carrots give it the moisture needed,but as I told Alix, it is O.K...

Hi Alix, I would not add more fat to the recipe, as it will make the cake too fatty, just add a little milk to the mix if it is too stiff, usually fresh moist carrots add water to the mix, so it will be o.k. to add a little milk... Hope this helps you. " happy cooking " Viv....
