You'll Never Need Another Carrot Cake Recipe

This classic homemade carrot cake recipe is topped off with a tasty cream cheese frosting and is very moist and delicious. You will love how tasty this traditional cake is and all the extra ingredients you can put in it to customize it.
Carrot cake is a spice cake consisting of carrots, cake batter, and spices that are topped with a traditional cream cheese frosting. It’s a wildly popular cake and is especially beloved during the Easter holiday season.
Carrot Cake has been around for centuries, believe it or not, but was originally introduced as a carrot pudding. According to CarrotMuseium.co.uk, the carrot cake as we know it today was created out of carrot pudding. It was said to be a healthy alternative to sweet desserts, but as you can see this cake is not on the healthy side.

This was my first time making a carrot cake and this recipe was awesome! I did replace one cup of oil with full fat yogurt and the cake was super moist. Thank you Chef

[@adamborgia3880]

Nice! We had made a carrot cake last week with a recipe pretty close to this. One difference is we had decided to brown the butter for our cream cheese frosting. Turned out awesome and gave a nuttier, almost maple-like hint to the frosting!

If Chef Billy says this recipe is the best one I’M SURE it is! ✍🏽 excited to try it out this weekend! 👏🏽

I made this cake yesterday. It is the BEST carrot cake i have ever had! Very impressed!

[@ThanhTran-zd4od]

Good morning, Chef! I personally love carrot cake and my daughter in-law too. I always order it from the bakery when I came to her. Now I think I will do it myself. Thank you so much. God bless you and your family! 👍💕🙏

I like my carrot cake moist and filled with walnuts, raisins, pineapple, coconut, carrots. It's great when you can find one that has a nice balance.

[@alij9888]

Isn't that a hummingbird cake?

[@Njae2000]

@@alij9888 No....a Hummingbird Cake is banana based. They do have some similar ingredients though and sometimes people do put coconut in their hummingbird cakes as well.

I really love have you make cooking accessible by giving alternate ways to do things

[@nooncactus]

That carrot 🥕 cake looks delicious!

[@anitraahrens905]

Thanx, Chef Billy Parisi, for this three layer carrot cake and the icing recipes and decorating instructions. Take care!

[@calvinstaley0123]

I made this carrot cake three times already. Thanksgiving, Mother's Day, and for my aunt's birthday.

[@nooncactus]

That carrot cake looks delicious!!! 🥕🐰🥕

Carrot cake is delicious, I wasn't aware of the dry walnut thanks for the tip.

[@yeverino1970]

I don’t buy any sweets from the store any more. I bake everything from scratch and it’s amazing. My mouth was watering watching you make this cake, it looks amazing 🤤🤤👍🏼👍🏼

[@KrispyKremePies]

Fire. Gonna make this for my wife and kids when I get home 🏡

[@hemamedicap1533]

[@izodman]

[@judypeters1947]

Made this and absolutely loved it.. thank you

[@karenleonard2443]

Came out great thank you.

[@karinmihanovich8858]

I’d rather take the bottom part of the cakes and turn them upside down as for me the top part is much more tastee than the bottom. Thank you Chef Billy Parisi!!👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@kristinhardin9698]

Yummm 🤤 Perfect in time for Easter!

[@mtaylor407]

Dude, love your videos. Definitely gonna try this one this weekend!

[@kimworkman2425]

Great video. Thanks for all the details and encouragement.

[@dianed2448]

This will be great to make for Easter. Love how you make everything from scratch. And after tasting you always knock it out of the ballpark. This looks so delicious

[@patashcraft2853]

if you used 'even bake cake strips' around your cake pans, your cake will remain flat. there would be no need to remove the top. soak them in water, wrap around cake pan and bake. love the recipe. I will add this to my list because I hate pineapple in my carrot cake. this looks better than my current recipe.

[@chadroehrick]

if I could pay $100 and have that cake come through my screen right now, I would! Looks so good! P.S. I tried your pretzel recipe and they were AWESOME!

[@marthafleming8611]

I skip the vanilla in the frosting and add a couple tbsp of fresh lemon juice. The added tang contrasts perfectly with the sweet in the frosting and the cake.

[@skythereal]

I’m from st. louis ! Can you recommend any great restaurants/chefs still there? Love ur vids

[@aprilrains9921]

Sugar addiction...twice the frosting sounds good to me. I have been looking for this recipe because it is so moist and spiced just right.

[@nathanbenton2051]

yeeeeeaah! gonna try this one! also got those tunes back goin hard! club PARISI 🎉🥳

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Bumpin’ 😂😂

[@jenniferwong863]

Love it 👍

[@esmacrafts3702]

Nice. i like. what is the brand of your baking tins?

[@antonellamasella2300]

Could we sub applesauce for some of the oil?

[@MrWonderful09]

I love carrot cake but I hate cream cheese frosting. What other frosting can be used?

[@lisachristoph437]

It looks lovely. But I wish some of these chef's would add a little bit about adjusting for altitude. I moved from 1000 ft to 5000 ft 18 months ago and it has been a baking adjustment.

[@aliam8511]

Hi there, do you deliver ready food in USA?

[@cynthiasancinito4282]

What if the tooth pick dose not come out clean ? Do you put back in the oven ?

[@KrispyKremePies]

Yes

[@MsJcmJcm]

I’m going to reduce the sugar. I’m afraid it maybe too sweet with icing.

[@theoneandonlysoslappy]

Recipe looks great but how is adding raisins (or anything else) different from adding toasted nuts to a carrot cake? Do raisins not have a "natural flavor?"

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Raisins have no taste to you? Nuts are pretty traditional in a carrot cake.

[@theoneandonlysoslappy]

@@ChefBillyParisi I think I must be misunderstanding something. Thanks for the recipe.

[@MsFruitboot]

Delicious!

[@drifter1dc]

Where’s the pineapple?

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Hate pineapple, coconut, or raisins in carrot cake. My personal opinion is that it has no place in it. People added those things over time to try and manipulate the flavor and make it more moist instead of just learning how to make it correctly.

[@drifter1dc]

@Chef Billy Parisi the first carrot cake I had was made by my brother-in-law’s Croatian Grandma. I didn’t know there was pineapple until later, also she never iced hers which it seems everyone does now days. Love your videos BTW your presentation is clear and concise.
