Happy Mother's Day Sarah! You are such a lifesaver. After being a workaholic and now a grandma to little ones. I live to cook for them

[@KwJake]

I frowned so bad when you said "aww you can't!" when you were cutting the cake to try it! Looks so good!

[@sarahcarey984]

hehehe....mean. I know.

[@otherh4255]

THE best carrot cake recipe I've tried so far. it's so incredibly moist and fluffy. I forgot to add the baking powder but it's still absolute amazing side note: it is quite buttery so ill try using less butter next time

[@phillipsmom6252]

Mmmmmm.........that's a perfect carrot cake. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms.

[@reginathornton3148]

I never made carrot cske before but this right here is the phenomenal. One of the best scratch cakes I ever made and very moist. Love, love it!!!!!

[@sarahwestling9438]

I started salivating when she brought out the cream cheese frosting.

[@djokovic981]

Thanks sooo sooo soooooo much for this recipe beautiful Sarah

[@dbsatuito]

This was so delicious, i couldn't believe it

[@joshuachukwu3023]

Lovely. Thanks for the tutorial. I am gonna try it

[@pearlexi]

I LOVE carrot cake too! Thank you Sarah for the recipe! Will try making it soon! :)

[@fala7q]

look so good !

[@edisonewell2203]

Yay. Finally a good carrot cake video without raisins.

[@marciabernard615]

I love it thanks for the information

[@Zahra-el9jk]

Looks yummy, totally gonna try it !!

[@cy24]

Looks so delicious. I was craving carrot cake and bought one last night. It was actually for my dad's birthday, but it was an excuse for me to get my craving fix. I will try making this.

[@CakeDecoratingGuide]

I wanna try this recipe too. Thanks for sharing this video. I love this cake recipe.

[@miguelmoscol6622]

Just done it and it is great even though i reduced the amount of butter to only 200 grams intead of the almost 350 grams, and finish with two tablespoons of oil and it ended up very moist, also i changed the water for the same amount of carrot juice. I will stick to this recipe

[@ameerahy9327]

Beautiful cake i will maket

[@marilynalvarez9951]

Oh my gosh.....this is one of my all time favorite cake (I would adopt Sarah if she makes this for me ) (giggle)

[@marayaports]

Great recipe and great Sarah! she always makes me laugh!!!!!

[@Hottielvr]

i would eat the whole thing OMG!

[@LA-bm5fu]

my favorite cake! always a great combo of flavors, textures and let's be honest... cream cheese frosting would be delicious on an old tire ;)

[@jamesg1490]

Thank you so much for this recipe, Sarah. It made me an instant star at my work over Memorial Day weekend. My guilty admission: I had run out of cinnamon and had no pecans in the house!!!! I used all other ingredients and, in place of cinnamon, I put a 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves. I'm not exaggerating when I say that no less than 5 people in my office said the coveted words "That is the best carrot cake I've ever had-can I have the recipe?" You're show has literally changed the way I (try to) cook and I want to thank you for helping me discover the fun and beauty of making really GREAT food easily. Take care, everyone! James Dallas, TX

[@marciabernard615]

Good job

[@pparisihanuman]

looks really yummy. I make an awesome cannoli filling to layer into the middle of the cakes; and then I frost with the cream cheese frosting. Thanks, Sarah. Happy Mother's Day

[@sarahcarey984]

Uh...YUM!!!! love that. love.

[@mickeythemaltipoo3756]

I'm going to take your recipes and combined them. Carrot cake cheesecake in middle😋

[@DPhoenix1981]

Did anybody else notice she added both baking powder and baking soda, but only gave the measurement for baking powder?

[@CelesteK]

I'm sure that was probably an oversight. :)

[@everydayfood]

Great catch! The recipe calls for: 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda -Team EDF

[@CelesteK]

See? It was an oversight. :)

[@DPhoenix1981]

I figured it was, just made me giggle, cause she is usually very thorough

[@CelesteK]

Oh yes. :) But 2 lbs of icing sugar for the frosting. That's a tad insane. :P

[@mike123852]

I have to be honest now and say that I made this for a good friend and it came out super moist and the perfect texture. A little slice goes a long way, try adding lemon juice to your icing to cut some sweetness. #YUM 🍰🍰🍰

[@cadreani]

I love your dishes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kodanic3306]

mothers day today and am making it now

[@shweetshtuff21]

Susan's Manicotti has become a family favorite. Looks like her carrot cake will be as well. Can't wait to see Susan's recipe next Mother's Day! Oh, and Sarah, could you make a Tres Leches Cake video? I made one last year and it had some weird hard clumps. I'm a visual learner and you are the best and funnest teacher so I know I'd be successful if you made a vid. :-D

[@shuchinsk]

Yum. I make it with 3/4 c. butter and 3/4 c. applesauce. It's plenty buttery.

[@sarahcarey984]

Nice.

[@jpgoodtimes9604]

what can I say I love your hair you are very beautiful but your recipes are really great thank you very much for everything I’ve use some of your recipes I don’t bake anymore used to work as a I Pastry cook in the hotel in South Beach Ritz Carlton thank you again

[@yutaro5296]

"It's just like a big muffin without the frosting"- I TOTALLY agree with that! I love and eat carrot cake almost entirely for its frosting ;)

[@allenogoy5720]

If I was going to make carrot cupcakes, how many cupcakes will this recipe make?

[@lovelychristcabusao2802]

I like your carrot cake you know cause even if only I see it in the picture so that when I bite it

[@ianmintz12806]

Hey Sarah, if I wanted the cake to be super moist, could I add vegetable oil and buttermilk to the recipe?

[@toughsuga2]

I don't like cream cheese icing, but this looks good

[@kyotiya]

Can I use pumpkin spice in replace of the spices you used?

[@elgadi1377]

can i add oil instade of butter ...i think it will be more moist

[@fahdalobaidy7959]

nice :-)

[@ezekiel102487]

I'd like to use canola oil instead of butter, is it ok? If its yes how many cup do i need?

[@matheya]

Can we do this with other fruits ? Apples . The ingredients are similar to Apple Strudel.

[@MelodyLoveSims]

I was disappointed when you didn't show yourself making the frosting :( you gave the recipe but I would have enjoyed the visuals. Nice video either way..

[@alicialynch8760]

Hi Sarah I tried your carrot cake and loved it. I'll like to know the measurements to make three cakes. Please can you help me.

[@happycurtain]

Alicia Lynch make 1 and a half recipes so make the full recipe for two cakes then make half a recipe for one more

[@cindia6697]

whats the difference when using oil instead of butter and water?

[@ryansanteful]

can i make this without the cinnamon?

[@justglitters3140]

Can I omit the pecans? :)

[@Blueberrymuffin1190]

Pecans aren't in every carrot cake :) I'm sure it would be just as good without :)

[@justpar2012]

Yea, pecans!

[@rose-nt5un]

hi

[@twilajohnson2313]

What is the purpose of the water?

[@joshuamohammed6260]

Twila Johnson what happens when you heat water? It steams right? The water and the butter are immiscible so when the cake goes in the oven there are tiny droplets of water in the batter and whilst the cake is cooking, the water droplets begin to steam and causes small air bubbles which make the cake soft and decadent. Hope this was helpful!

[@hshellainememea]

Can you add raisins?

[@xtusvincit5230]

1 Cup Golden raisins, plumped in rum.

[@shimmeringbeauty11]

3 sticks of butter is way too much for that batch of cake batter, it would be too dense i reccomend using a stick of butter and put less sugar so that the rationis the same

[@pooiyoke]

may i ask the measurement of all ingredients if to half the recipes, thank you.

[@xtusvincit5230]

good gravy. you can do it yourself.

[@aniagnidai855]

Czeski gulasz

[@ma.criselleaquino4699]

The carrot color is like your hair😅💖

[@uncle_gazpacho]

Carrot producing carrot cakes

[@soniamakin]

A stick of butter equals how many grames?

[@DanialDawood]

Half a cup

[@soniamakin]

Thank you

[@ellysagutin1724]

Excuse me but did you used baking soda? @_@

[@jbooks888]

Elly Sagutin Yes, she did - one teaspoon and the same of baking powder.

[@kymrush733]

gut

[@xtusvincit5230]

Rum? Raisins? Father's Day?

[@rodrigobueno8652]

Why american/british carrot cake always looks like a cereal bar?

[@celsoilao7435]

She kinda looks like joyce in life is strange

[@brandiurban5519]

It bothers me so much that she never clean frosts cakes....

[@01Cfm]

wait why water instead of milk lol

[@SuperRentos]

The next time someone tries to convince me to eat carrot cake because it's "healthier" than normal cakes, I'm going to show them this. 3 sticks of butter.

[@Jan96106]

+SuperRentos it isn't the butter that's bad for you. It's the sugar and the flour. I love carrot cake, but I can't eat sugar, so I watched this recipe instead so I could vicariously experience the sweetness. I was also hoping I might make it with almond flour, but the amount of sugar nixed that idea.

[@leneyoro9738]

I made this and it was just way too buttery and very dense. Next time I wil use less butter.

[@leneyoro9738]

Although, it was very good and my family enjoyed it.

[@abdulshukoorwafa1267]

میتای‌ هیندی

[@Sunshine-br4it]

Hahaha.. You ate your mom's cake..

[@ajeossi3233]

the moment when I saw she put in baking soda and baking powder I straight away turn the video off...

[@dongamb3823]

Two pounds of sugar for the cream cheese frosting? Are you insane???

[@adriennegutierrez5991]

Next Year can we create a recipe for PRIDE? #lgbt...? You know? Come on! Please!

[@tomasgrimm3086]

Looks nice but 5 sticks of butter for cake and frosting???, 1 1/2 cup + 2 pounds of sugar??? that sounds like a calories explosion, I mean, sons are supposed to take care of mother´s health

[@j.raymond1297]

Tomas Grimm. Heck, Mother's Day is once a year! It's not like she is going to gorge on it every day. It's also not like she is going to eat the whole cake by herself. But hey, when you give her a piece of health wise cardboard that you call a cake....wow, just watch her eyes light right up! ...... Go ahead do it! ...... We'll wait here for the response!

[@damianrhea8875]

some non-orphan kids have no mum but 2 gay daddies. and those w/ 2 lesbian mums, do they need to bake 2 cakes?

[@sarahcarey984]

YES!!! Just Kidding. they can share. and if there are two daddies, make it for fathers day.

[@Sunyah1]

I made this today and it turned out to be a disaster! The cake did not taste nice, too dense and the icing did not thicken at all, it was runny... I made carrot cake before using another person's recipe and that turned out great, so I will be using that recipe every time I make carrot cake.. Sorry!!

[@SamaraTrollero]

+Sunyah Akhtar I was hesitating already because of the other people's comments, but I wanted to actually see a comment from someone that made it. I wanted to make this for a party, so I had to be sure it was going to turn out fine. But yeah, thanks a lot.

[@trulyblessed2854]

+Hami H hi! i know that this is a really really late reply to your comment (a lot of things were happening in my life at the same time lol) but i wanted to say something anyway. i didn't want to sound mean when i wrote my previous comment, but i thought i should be honest. did u try another recipe for this cake? I was soo disappointed with this one as it took me all day to make and cost a lot of money! i have the best recipe from Cooking With Karma.. hands down the tastiest carrot cake i ever made. my husband's all time favourite! oh, it's Sunyah Akhtar btw! lol ;-)

[@MrLinushka]

2 pounds of sugar????? that's insane and wayyyyy to sweet...for this amount i would use 150-200 grams of powdered sugar...

[@celestia7269]

Ikr!!!!

[@Thunder777m]

MrLinushka I know I was thinking the same
