This could be the greatest carrot cake i've ever tried... we'd not heard of this before, but a Brazilian carrot cake is a chocolate topped cake with blended carrots discretely inside & is amazing!

[@kaajaljangali3568]

My Virgin Kitchen looks delicious, mr barry

[@milliepeverley3826]

My Virgin Kitchen this looks amazing Barry love all your video's

[@mrbarrylewis]

thankyou

[@linneajonsson2968]

My Virgin Kitchen I'm definitely going to do this. First thing tomorrow 😊😍❤️❤️ have a great,soon, weekend everyone

[@anna_bandana]

My Virgin Kitchen carrot skin has loads of nutrients in them also when cooking the skin prevents nutrients leaving the carrot

[@camilasilveira_nutri]

I'm from Brazil and this is the original recipe. We love this cake! The filling is a little different, but you rock it!

[@norabrown5584]

Could you do more of a buttercream topping?

[@phodon129]

One variation I can give is to use a fork to make holes all over the cake so the chocolate can seep in, it makes it even better! But even in this more original form, it is a truly delicious recipe. Greetings from Brazil!

[@mrbarrylewis]

awesome thanks hope I did you proud haha yes that sounds nice a bit like a drizzle cake

[@unnaturalshamrock]

There are a few different ways to make the chocolate topping. With sugar, chocolate powder and butter, but no milk or honey. And also with condensed milk, butter and cocoa powder, which is basically the recipe for brigadeiro, my personal favourite. Thanks for making this recipe! 🇧🇷❤️

[@RaulSPX]

Brazil again in the channel! Yay!

[@mrbarrylewis]

no probs :-)

[@lincolnnoronha4128]

é nóis!

[@ErnestoTani]

Ele precisa aprender a fazer quindim. heeehehehe

[@GabrielaEmerique]

The chocolate part you could make a brigadeiro too. It is perfect 😍 supeeer Brazilian kind of afternoon snack hahaha

[@mrbarrylewis]

thanks Gaby

[@wayyninho]

When my mom makes it, she makes it with brigadeiro too. Carrot cake was my favorite as a kid, and I did not like carrots.

[@MatroxMillennium]

YES! I had some brigadeiro-topped cake once and it was maybe the best cake topping I've ever had. I honestly thought that's what this was going to be when I saw the title. I had to learn how to make brigadeiro after that.

[@jrandsue8080]

Gaby Emerique i

[@user-in1jr8uv4v]

Say Thanks from Brazil

[@edu740]

It's really delicious, I can say myself, I'm Brazilian! Love your vids, greetings from Brazil

[@mrbarrylewis]

thanks a bunch

[@dirty-sanchez3807]

Haha what a surname

[@callmecristal]

LMAO BARRY.. "WHAT A SURNAME.." hahahahahahahaha

[@TheOmegaElement]

This recipe reminds me of my mother's house, she always do it. You haven't seen the cake with chocolate dripping on the sides, because here in Brazil, we leave the cake in the tray and pour the topping there. After that, we wait for it to firm up, and only after we take it out, this way we get a more thick layer of the topping.

[@mrbarrylewis]

oh great ok thanks

[@julinhaswrld]

I’ve been subscribed for a while and binge watch all your episodes (out of order) and I came across this one. I’m brazilian (i live in the us) and my mom makes this all the time especially when we have guests over. I love seeing someone who isn’t brazilian or familiar with the dish attempt to make it because they learn a little more about the uniqueness of the culture. Love your videos.

[@hannahsdantas]

Yaay brazilian carrot cake! The best of the best

[@willjrcmota]

You could've done it all in the blender. It'll make things a lot smoother. Also, the idea of a Brigadeiro topping is wonderful! I'm from Brazil and this is DELICIOUS! Y'all should try it!!

[@VictorTamietti]

It turned out great, greetings from Brazil! There's another traditional cake here, its a corn/cheese cake (not a cheesecake) called "broa", with several variations. To eat while drinking black coffee, it's also amazing.

[@jeancanestri5572]

the best cake ever. Sweet and salty with pieces of cheese inside

[@m.p.6039]

No joke, this is probably the best cake I ever had, thanks!

[@LuhBrazArt]

Okay, Brazilian mom homemade tip (from my mom, who sells rly good carrot cakes): The topping should be made with: 1 tablespoon of butter 1 cup of sugar 3 tablespoons of chocolate powder 2 tablespoons of milk Bring to the stove till the butter and sugar disolves and drizzle over the cake. You don't like the "too sugary" topping, a thing brazilians do quite often as well is make brigadeiro topping. Wich is simply making a less sturdy brigadeiro to drizzle over the cake. I know you wont make another video, but if you ever want to make that cake again, you should give it a try! :))

[@fskohn]

This is the classic topping that bakerys use, but I really prefer "brigadeiro" or ganache!!

[@vikki0312]

We do this one at home too! I think the brigadeiro is too sweet for this cake and this one is just 👌

[@larissabraz4056]

É assim que minha vó faz tbm

[@AyumiMary]

Uma receita brasileira! ♥ Nosso bolo de cenoura é muito top mesmo! hahaha Amazing video! Greetings from Brazil ♥♥

[@sechsplusachtzig]

Super easy, very tasty, fluffy and moist. Made it 3 times now. Once to try it out when we had a lot of carrots in the house. Then with an extra layer of fondant with a picture on it. And a few days ago i made 18 muffins out of the batter. It was very well received every time.

[@aeronmartin5637]

Just finished moving house yesterday and finally have a kitchen bigger than a postage stamp - definitely going to give this one a go.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Many of a carrot's nutrients are found in the skin and immediately beneath it, but peeled carrots are still a healthy vegetable to eat. The fact that a carrot's peel and its flesh are the same color is an indicator that the two parts of the vegetable have a similar nutritional value ...looks a great cake !!

[@mrbarrylewis]

can I take you to a pub quiz with me please? thanks for the info

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

lol....just LIKE one of my videos, and ill go anyway with you !!! .......... But funny enough the other day. I was looking into should we peel our veg to get rid off Pesticides, and i came up with lots of conflicting advice ...like did you know; only simmer vegs because over boiling can loose 50% of vitamins and minerals. Vegetables contain soluble and insoluble fiber - both of which are crucial components of a healthy diet - most of the insoluble fiber (the fiber that helps keep you regular) is found in their peel..so eat more peel and keep healthy !! but not that sure it would make a difference with the sugar hit of this cake...

[@Rawr98]

Englishman in Malta so should we peel it to get rid of pesticides? Or is simmering enough?

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

There is so much conflicting advise , like since i was a lad i was told veg water was good for you....seems now if left some time can be harmful, ... i was told where ever possible buy organic fruit and veg...but a light wash of shop veg would remove most of the harmful pesticides. The idea of simmering veg in the skin and not over boiling/over cooking is to retain as much vitamins and minerals as you can , !! According to the Center for Science and Environment (CSE), "high levels of pesticide residues can be toxic enough to cause long-term cancer, damage to the nervous and reproductive systems, birth defects, and severe disruption of the immune system." ....scary stuff !! but life is to short to worry...lets all enjoy our Barry's carrot cake with 400 gms of sugar...lol

[@haleyfunk7718]

I would love to see more Brazilian recipes!

[@consultingdetective6310]

What a unique recipe, blending up the carrots made for a gorgeous cake! Yum! I think I may try it with semisweet or bittersweet chocolate.

[@dadcelo]

It's soooo good with semisweet!

[@rafaellopes8771]

As a Brazilian myself I think that cake looks delicious, some ingredients are diferent but probably because they are hard to find outside Brazil hahahaha Well done!

[@alexarmstrong8177]

Ooooh! A roast dinner playlist sounds amazing ^_^ ... This cake looks amazing!

[@mrbarrylewis]

really keen to do one

[@jeancanestri5572]

That's perfect. 100% authentic. Best cake at children birthday parties.

[@RMBarros455]

I always add a litthe lemon zest to the batter (no more than a tablespoon). I dont know why, but it really makes the cake even more delicious.

[@michaelwilson4339]

I wonder how it would be if you leave the cake in the cake pan, poke holes in the cake (like a poke cake or a tres leches cake), pour the chocolate topping on, then put let it soak in for a bit.

[@bobmat343]

Roast playlist sounds great, and this looks bloody lovely!!!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

That looks very mouthwatering.

[@callmecristal]

Yaaaas! I'm Brazillian currently living in Canada though.. This cake is SO GOOD!!!

[@izavilella5906]

So happy that you like it! It's one of my favorites here in Brazil 🇧🇷♥️

[@Mrx2848]

One of my favorite desserts to make that I'd like to see your take on would be Turkish Delight. It's usually made with rosewater, but it's tough to find that where I am so the recipe I use has orange juice and zest instead.

[@mrbarrylewis]

I want to make it, but I kind of hate turkish delight, maybe making homemade will change my mind

[@JessieeCar]

Love how you keep your videos real, keeping the mistakes in etc 👍👏

[@Babsie4826]

Thanks Barry. You are a delight. I only have a food processor (Cuisinart). Would that work? What size baking pan should I use? Thanks so much. Our measurements over here in USA are different than the ones you gave us.

[@blazedraculea5334]

I never used this topping to my cake, i used to make brigadeiro, it takes this cake to another level.

[@bhdamiati]

I'm brazilian and you made me craving for it a lot

[@zabellamulamanca]

One thing brazilians do right: FOOD. Next you should try to make escondidinho, wich is kind of a shepperds pie but instead of potatoes we use cassava to make the purée, and fill it with any meat, can be pork, chicken or beef, and add a little cream cheese as well. It'll blow your mind, trust me.

[@HighTen_Melanie]

Barry stay away from the caffeine! Too much Irn Bru means I'm wide awake at 3am! Hope you sleep better tonight.

[@starcatcatherinehale1893]

That looks Absolutely Yummy! My family totally adores carrot cake. We've made it into cupcakes, cookies, cake pops, French toast, bread pudding, ice cream, and lots of other things.... even my nephew's wedding cake. LOL It is certainly our favorite family flavor for cake. This is amazing and so simple to make, definitely doing this one, thanks. 💛💝💛

[@keatlynsanders3559]

For almost all vegetables, having the skin on is healthier as it holds lots of vitamins and nutrients x

[@DougvonSohsten]

Yeah! Go Brazil! Loved it Barry, try more Brazilian recipes.

[@marienygard1173]

Looking at that cake and topping, I'm thinking that I'll try it, but treat the topping as kind of a "poke" cake, poking holes into the cake with the handle of a wooden spoon before pouring that chocolate topping on. I'm definitely wanting to try it!

[@jutmelchior]

Where did you get that recipe? It's usually topped with brigadeiro (sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder and a bit of butter) or what you did minus the honey 🤔

[@cathrineelisabethschyttebo5960]

I bet you would love the thermomix ^^ costs like £1000, but it's absolutely magical to use. Next to my kitchen aid it's my favorite kitchen appliance.

[@OtseisRagnarok]

Barry finally did a steve irwin impression. I can die happy.

[@abigailjones9084]

We always make normal carrot cake at home. I'm going to have to try this version!! Thanks for another great video :)

[@fernandaschafer]

Hello, Barry! I'm frmo Brazil! We really do love a carrot cake! But you should actually try making the most famous Brazilian dessert: BRIGADEIRO! Really, it's the best! Love your videos! Greetings from Brazil!

[@davi66urtin]

im 15, im taking gcse catering but im only good at desserts and baking! i need to learn to work with vegetables more but when im older i wanna be a Baker or Dessert chef!

[@cozinhacultura]

Brazil... the best food 💙💙

[@brianartillery]

I did once ask somebody about the 'leaving the carrot skin on' thing, and the reply I got was: "It's rustic, innit?" Not very helpful.

[@lissyraccoon794]

Can you try to make your own Yorkshire puddings. I've only ever used the cheat one you just heat in the oven

[@DaniloLeite]

I make it weekly. Love it!

[@cacorreia]

The best Brazilian salad!

[@MatheusSSales-io2zu]

I love carrot cake soooo much :p My mom's recipe is the very best ♥♥♥

[@wingardiumlachancla9078]

ROFL the way you try to mix the carrots little by little, this is exactly my first try ! XD

[@jeancharl31]

God Save the Queen and Carrot Cake !!

[@DawnShipley1977]

There is a lot of nutrition in the peel of a carrot. I like them both ways.

[@AnjaliSharma06]

The most entertaining KZbin channel ever 😘😘😘

[@TFKMilsim]

barry, your an inspiring induvidual, your food is great and i hope one day i will cook as good as you...

[@laizadiannemagsino880]

I always look forward to your videos Barry! yum

[@joanaproencasantos6216]

Brazilian carrot cake is so much better with chocolate. You should try with dark chocolate, it is a little less sweet, but still delicious

[@FreezeFlavors]

So soothing! It looks delicious!

[@brunosimoes5227]

Thanks Barry, now I'm craving some carrot cake! Nice video, as usual

[@Koko-lr5bc]

This cake looks moist and the color is beautiful! I am going to try this, in a way its good way to have kids eat carrots lol!

[@robertofurutani]

I'm from Brazil and I love carrot cake. Have you ever done 'brigadeiro' ?

[@SuperBandito]

More Brazilian food please!!!

[@priscillatayllor]

You should've used the blender first hahaha, I've never seen anyone using a food processor to mix the oil, eggs, sugar and carrots. But it looks really good!

[@karolinakepinska2752]

holy-- i have been watching Steve Irwin's documentaries (more like 100th time re-watching) and damn, Barry you do a great Steve Irwin impression! haha the cake looks amazing! I'm going to try to bake it seems pretty easy!

[@digomma78]

Hey, Barry. A lot of us across the pond (perhaps just me), are curious about proper eel pie. Have you ever tried it? I mean actually eating it? A proper, jellied eel pie. I would love to know how to make it and am even more curious (I am a seafood lover) if its actually something that tastes good.

[@MrRainyCastle]

You should have poked some holes all over the cake before you introduced it to mr. Cholcolate 😍

[@ericaazevedo6999]

Top! Amei, a cobertura eu faço um pouquinho diferente

[@mayaraperpetuo234]

O melhor bolo ❤❤

[@daniellevaughan9043]

This is my favorite KZbin channel! I love watching your videos!

[@mrbarrylewis]

thankyou

[@legionwermany]

Roast beef with a salt pepper and ground coffee rub! so good. please thumb to see Barry cook beef with coffee!

[@amber-lilithompson7706]

Hey Barry, great recipe. Why is it that you put flour over your butter when you grease it? Does it make a difference?

[@babygrils1000]

Love this video

[@jase6709]

I could hear you salivating when pouring the chocolate. I was too.

[@aneelazafar3458]

Can i use olive oil or sunflower oil?

[@NightOwl_30]

If you use sugar instead of honey and pour it on the cake straight away, the chocolate hardens gets all crackly and crunchy. It's a lot nicer then the liquidy chocolate.

[@randomperson147]

If you want a slightly easier way to grease cake pans, I use the oil spray can. Gives an even coverage in a quick and unmessy way.

[@velhocoyote]

as a brazilian, seems pretty good.. I recommend a little bit more chocolat nex time

[@blissfuldw]

Would it be easier to par cook the carrots just a bit, or zapping them in the microwave before blending them?

[@marcoantoniopirett711]

You shoud make brigadeiro is awesooome ♡

[@mariana.c89]

you could also poke the cake with a fork and let the chocolate topping get inside it! Or if you want a thicker topping make a brigadeiro topping! best carrot cake ever!

[@gabrieladias9934]

it is actually brigadeiro on the top of the cake (condensad milk, chocolate powder and butter). Brasilian speaking

[@anthonylorenzo5113]

Not sure if this has been asked before or not but Barry, why do you never completely clean out your mixing bowls with a rubber spatula when transferring the mixed ingredients to the baking container? Not sure if you maybe just don't show that part on camera or you intentionally leave a bit more in the mixing bowl.

[@MarianaGazinhato]

Carrot cake is best when it's just out of the oven. There's another recipe for the chocolate sauce that hardens right after you pour it over the cake, that's the best one

[@MartinKidd]

Looks yum!

[@neonoah3353]

oh, cool! my favorite type of cake!!! i was actually wondering if that other carrot cake you made was just an fancier recipe of this one... i tried making the other one, but man, it is hard to find those ingredients here in brazil! so i kind of mixed the brown sugar and the vanilla extract with this recipe, and made the chocolate topping (because i dont like lemon, yuck!), but instead of milk and chocolate, we usually use condensed milk and either cocoa in powder or chocolate in powder. i ended up using cocoa in powder, the result was GREAT, it got a little more brown than orange because of the brown sugar and the vanilla extract gave it an vanilla smell/taste that really mixed well with the cake.

[@joannegray5138]

I love carrot cake, so I will get my flatmate to try making this soon because that looked great. From the looks of the chocolate topping though, it's more of a sauce than a frosting? Oh, and ps - hello, Tris, if you're reading this ;)

[@IM_Morethan]

I miss the R Kelly song reactions. Lol. I love your channel. ❤

[@KristenLB]

Barry, do you think the chocolate sauce would work with almond or coconut milk? thanks!

[@tomascavejon1391]

That is super brazilian! hahah and it is amazing

[@camerongoliath1350]

Definitly do a roast dinner playlist

[@stufoo]

MVK TO A MILLION SUBS! WOOOOO

[@stufoo]

also MVK shirts???

[@carlossoaresimoveis]

A cobertura de chocolate nós fazemos com leite condensado e chocolate em pó que vira Brigadeiro fica muito mais gostoso

[@theironwitch1950]

mmmm wow this looks yummy! Cant wait to give it a try!!

[@biancaj2311]

I'd have stabbed he cake to let the choc in and/or poured it on the slices after i cut them so the choc would pool on the plate. will def be trying this cake :) Barry, your videos are great.

[@andrewf.1598]

Sacreligious! The best part of carrot cake is the cream cheese frosting!

[@lianoxortaroudia450]

What if instead of 3 carrots we add more? Like 5-6? Would it taste more carrotish?

[@girouux_katie26]

id love to see the roast playlist! i want to make lamb but dont know how

[@amyfarrell4329]

Never heard of this before but it looks yummy. Definitely going to try it

[@mrbarrylewis]

ditto, it's awesome
