Marie, this is exactly the carrot cake recipe that my mother served my, at that time future husband, around 64 years ago. My husband now of over 60 years has this cake for every birthday, and my 2 sons always have it too. There are no raisins, nuts, or pineapple in mine either. This is the original carrot cake recipe. Marie, I have missed your videos so much. Even with all my years of cooking, you have taught me so much. I hope that you tell me that you will be back soon. Betty Phillips in Alabama.

[@marieskitchen]

Hello Betty! Thanks so much for the note! I can’t believe you and your mom made the same recipe! It is the absolute BEST. 🤩 Wow - congratulations on over 60 years of marriage! You don’t hear about that often these days! I hear about 50 years occasionally, but never 60! ❤️ I’m so happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed my videos and have also learned a lot! That is always my goal 👍🏻 I had to take a break from filming the summer but I’m hoping to get back to it soon … if i can keep increasing subscribers and get more loyal viewers like you, it definitely helps offset the cost! So THANK YOU for watching and for taking time to leave such a sweet note. Next video is for you Betty! 🥰 Bug hugs, Marie

[@hungvan5025]

Thank you so much Marie ,followed your recipe my first carrot cake came out perfect .

[@lindysmith13]

I'm so glad youtube put your pie crust video in my feed. Once I watched it I saw carrot cake, two of my favorite things that I'd rather make at home rather than buy. I call it cream cheese frosting but I don't have too many strong opinions on that subject so icing it is for you! I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Linda! Welcome! So glad you’re here! The carrot cake is so good - can’t wait for you to try it! And yay on the pie crust! 🎉 Pie crust can be so intimidating but if you have some good tips and take a few tries to practice, it’s really quite simple! Please stay in touch and let me know if you have any questions or requests ❤️, Marie

I made this exact cake for Easter this past weekend, but did not discover your video until today. The recipe was published over 65 years ago in the Boston Globe newspaper and my mother had cut it out and saved it. She passed away 23 years ago but always when she made carrot cake, this was her go to. I do ad toasted chopped walnuts or pecan (depending on what I have on hand) to mine, but coconut, pineapple and raisins don’t belong in a carrot cake, then it would be a “fruit” cake.

[@mariamgodinho5539]

Thank you very much for the tasty cake. I made it for my daughter's birthday. She loved it🎉

[@beckylopez4211]

I just recently found you so I’m going through some of your older videos to catch up and I love the way you cook and explain things. That said, I also looked at some of the comments when you asked if it was frosting or icing cause I wanted to know what people said, and I’m shocked at the nasty comments I saw! I wish people would just watch a video and if they didn’t like it, then move on and keep their negativity to themselves. There’s so much hate in this world and it saddens me. You keep doing it your way and don’t pay attention to those idiots who have nothing better to do. I have subscribed to your channel and I’m pretty sure I will be happy I did!

Hi Moira! I’m looking more closely at the spelling of your name and think I may have mispronounced it 😅 Sorry about that. I hope you love this cake! And thanks so much for watching ❤️❤️

[@moirasimunovich7599]

@@marieskitchen Hi Marie! Yup you did mispronounce it - no worries I'm used to it! 😂 My granddaughter and I are going to make your Banana Cake this week while she's off school for Spring Break. Aimee loves anything with bananas in it. She's also requested French Toast Casserole for Easter Sunday Brunch - so I'm going to give your recipe a try this coming weekend. Thanks again!

Merci from Montreal, Québec , Canada

[@jgraef919]

Marie, thank you, thank you. 🤗This cake looks soooo delicious. I haven't pinpointed why I love carrot cake so much, but I think it's because of the nutmeg. I agree with you on being a purist not adding raisins or anything else. What makes this recipe even more perfect and timely is that I bought a 5 lb. bag of carrots yesterday!!!! Also, I make a lot of breads and so many recipes are from other countries. Converting ingredients with on line conversion tables is just not accurate. I bought a kitchen scale years ago and use it every time I bake. It's a wonderful kitchen tool. No more guessing. I thank you for making this wonderful video and I cannot wait to start shredding! 🤗💖I'll let you know how it turns out. I promise.

[@marieskitchen]

Can’t wait for you to try it Joan! Thanks so much for the request! I appreciate the inspiration so much 💕

[@brendariddle2349]

I’m in Oklahoma & I calling it icing!!

[@idalolo1]

From a "non-purist", I am going to try your recipe! The only carrot cake I have ever made has coconut, golden raisins and nuts in it. I am intrigued by your recipe though and will certainly give it a go! Thank you for your wonderful channel, Marie... you have such an easy manner and I absolutely love how you actually show alternatives in your cooking methods. With appreciation from Idaho 😊

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Lori! Thanks so much for watching and for your sweet note! I’ve always wanted to visit Idaho 🤩 I’m excited for you to try this recipe! Hope you love it, and of course you can always “jazz” it up with raisins or nuts if you prefer it that way 👍🏻 I love to decorate with walnuts around the outside, so that’s an option too! Stay tuned for more new recipes this fall 😊 My oven is actually broken at the moment but I’m working on getting a new one asap! Anxious to get back in the kitchen. Hugs from Texas, Marie ❤️

[@idalolo1]

@@marieskitchen Eek! Get this woman an oven! Hope you have secured a replacement. Can't wait to see what's next!

[@marieskitchen]

Got a new oven! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I can cook again and it already feels so good 😊

[@lisagoble1148]

My favorite cake ! I agree with you, pure carrot cake is the only way for me, I can tolerate nuts if I have to but absolutely no raisins. I don’t care if it’s called icing or frosting as long as it’s on the cake 😀🤣

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Lisa! Thanks for watching and for taking time to leave a note! Always love to hear from viewers 🥰 I completely agree with you - walnuts are the only acceptable variation 🤣 Let me know if you get a chance to try this one and stay tuned for more new recipes soon! My best, Marie

[@tamsmith61]

That's awesome! I hate raisins in carrot cake, too!❤

[@marieskitchen]

Lol! 😆 Thanks for watching 🥰 Stay tuned for more new videos soon ❤️, Marie

[@gracealsterberg2618]

Marie, I’ve never had a carrot cake without nuts and raisins! But you know, I may like it better without them! I like the fact that you mentioned the cake can be made as a layer cake or sheet cake. Thanks for the gods instruction.

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Grace! So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching! I could do nuts in the cake but no raisins for me 😁 I hope you get to try this recipe. Yes, sheet cake is such a great alternative! So easy to bake and frost! And serves so many! Stay in touch and do let me know if there’s something else you’d like to see! Big hugs, Marie

[@Tonya7219]

I am making this cake for my sons’s birthday today. I just took them out of the oven and they smell so good! They are cooling right now before I put the icing on. I had to think about that for a moment, Is it icing or frosting? Like the old saying goes, “Icing on the cake”. It refers to something positive that enhances a situation that’s already good. Thank You Marie for sharing! I enjoy watching and learning new things.

[@Tonya7219]

Best carrot cake ever! This cake was so moist and full of flavor. I am going to make the banana cake next. Thank You Marie!

[@sallykempis5341]

I like pure carrots

[@jholly5747]

I love your comment about reasons, if you’d like reasons, we can’t be friends. My husband loves reasons, he even goes out of his way to buy a box of sun maid raisins, so he can eat them. I, on the other hand hate reasons. Raisins or nuts do not belong in carrot cake. I guess I’m a purist, but I have made carrot cake with coconut and pineapple in it, although I didn’t like it. So I can’t wait to make this plain carrot cake.

[@marieskitchen]

Hi! Yay that we can be friends 🎉 No more raisins! 🤣 Don’t tell your husband I said that though 😅 Stay tuned for more new recipes (sans raisins!) ❤️, Marie

[@casycasy5199]

I love ❤ carrot 🥕 cake and I was watching your video and I'm going to try to make it And also I was wondering if you have a recipe for a good big hot pretzels because all the recipes I tried they were not soft they were very hard and I did not like them

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Robert! Thanks so much for watching! So glad you’re going to try the cake 😊 Pretzels are a great idea! I’ll put them on my list 👍🏻 My best, Marie

[@shanthachef6443]

🎉😂 good 👍

[@michelled.3849]

I say frost. Funny though, both words sound wintery lol, 😂. Frost and ice

[@marieskitchen]

Too funny! Maybe because the white icing looks like ice or frost? Never really thought about it ☺️ Thanks for watching and for taking time to leave a note - love to hear from viewers ❤️, Marie

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Brenda! Sorry for the delay! Yes you can definitely make the cake without nutmeg 😊 Let me know if you need anything else, always happy to help 💖

[@evangeline_zonarco]

The question is it icing or frosting. I always thought you ice the cake and frost cupcakes but it does not really matter. As long as they taste good 😊

[@aimeegill]

Could you substitute zucchini for the carrots.

Hi Aimee! Yes, definitely! I’ve used zucchini often in this recipe 👍🏻 Hope you get to try it and thanks for watching ❤️, Marie

To me icing is not fluffy at all and will stiffen as it sits. Frosting is airy, fluffy and soft.

[@capacitydevelopmentbranch1990]

PLEASE POST THE INGREDIENTS

[@nancyarchibald9095]

There are many ingredients that people like in their recipes. It's a curosity why you carry on so strongly about what you don't like (??) Okay, I'll remember not to include raisens when I make you something... which will likely never happen. Why waste time telling us what you and your daughter don't like?? It alienates you from so many of us who love our cakes loaded with raisens, pineapple, shredded coconut, the whole shebang. There's plenty going on right now that alienates and divides human kind. Lets not belabor something so trivial as raisens. They're such a tasty little treat. 😂
