Thanks for the tip re the different oils. I am finding canola oil, especially when heated, kind of offensive. Good to know I’m not the only one.

Jen: you might want to try different types of oil. I like sunflower and corn oils for baking. They have a more neutral flavor. Grapeseed oil is “fruity”, but also neutral. Canola oil can sometimes smell fishy when it is heated, so I don’t use it for sweet baking very often.

I need to try this recipe. Sometimes I use applesauce in the place of oil if it calls for it in a cake because I find oil gives off a burning smell and sometimes taste too! But applesauce is a good alternative.

I love carrot cake. I have a good recipe with yogurt so it’s low fat.
