Humidity also affects the texture of baked goods. Experienced cooks know to follow their instincts when the moisture content doesn't seem right. And yes, I, too would prefer to see the carrots measured by the cup as opposed to "4 medium carrots, peeled and finely grated." My estimation of a medium carrot is probably someone else's small carrot, or might be another person's large.

Very wise! Thanks for your opinion. More people should take these things into consideration before complaining to recipe developers for whom these creations work perfectly.

This is the first Mr Food recipe I have tried. Was very disappointed. It had a good flavor, but it was so-o-o-o dry and dense. I thought about adding a little milk when I mixed it; it was quite thick, but spooned it into the pan, it would not pour! I try to always follow the directions the first time and experiment later if need be. Maybe his carrots were juicier than mine; I have no idea. I would have preferred to see an actual cup measurement for them. I'll probably just adapt my hummingbird recipe to be a little more low cal. Even a little applesauce or pineapple added would have been good.
