  • ❤️ SUBSCRIBE HERE: bit.ly/divascan... Moist, tender carrot cake made from scratch! I love my Grandma Barb’s carrot cake and she has been asking if I’d shared it with you guys yet.
    I low-key thinks she likes having the bragging rights of saying “yeah people all over the world make my recipes” lol This carrot cake will not disappoint! It’s an old fashioned, tried and true favorite.
    It’s crazy moist and fluffy from all that buttermilk, carrot pulp and brown sugar! The oil gives it such an amazing fluffiness! I hope you all enjoy this carrot cake as much as we do!

    WARNING DO NOT MAKE THIS CAKE!!!!!
    Your family will want you to make it all the time. Girl, I made this cake for my husband's birthday and wow!!!! BEST CARROT CAKE EVER. I made just as written. Perfect. Oh you don't need to buy buttermilk. To make buttermilk simply take 1 cup of Milk minus 1 tablespoon and replace it with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar = Buttermilk. Thanks so much. This is now my go to carrot cake and the cream cheese frosting is terrific, not to sweet and not to sour. EXCELLENT. Did I say I liked this carrot cake........mmmmm

      @@bumsomejoeyy2493 I use whole milk but I think you can use any cows milk. This is the recipe I use to make buttermilk:
      INGREDIENTS
      1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice OR white vinegar
      1 cup of milk of choice
      INSTRUCTIONS
      Pour milk into a bowl.
      Stir in a tablespoon of lemon juice OR white vinegar into the bowl with the milk. Stir to combine.
      Let it sit for 5 minutes until the milk begins to curdle and becomes acidic.
      Then just use it in place of buttermilk in the recipe as it calls for
      Hope this helps! :)

    Thank you for another great cake recipe! This was hands down the best carrot cake I’ve ever made! Wonderful flavor, super moist but not too dense and perfect amount of spices! Perfect for Easter!!

    This cake is moist and delicious. I added pecans it’s so good.
    For the frosting I used
    2 blocks cream cheese
    1 stick unsalted butter
    2 1/2 cups powder sugar. That was the perfect amount to frost the cake. Next time, I think, I’ll use 3 cups powder sugar for slightly sweeter frosting.

    I had been making the same carrot cake recipe for 14 years. When I saw this, I knew I had to try it- I'm so glad I did. Absolutely delicious!!! Soo moist and good. The carrots 3 ways is genius, I can't believe I didn't think of it!! Try this, you won't regret it!!
    I did add just a dash of cinnamon to the frosting, and it was amazing.

    I initially didn't want to make this cake because carrot cake generally sounds, well...meh and boring (emphasis on "CARROT"). But I gave this a shot to have some variety in my life instead of the good old fool proof chocolate cake that even if its slightly burnt will still pass the taste test. So i went ahead and made the cake and now let me say this...everyone loved it! Even people who were never a fan of carrot cake, were amazed! It turned out beautiful! Thanks for sharing your recipe.

    Sis...bless you! I live in Tianjin, China, and was really wanting some carrot cake. I followed your recipe and it's AMAZING!!!!!! The anointing that makes a difference in our lives is in that cake! I didn't have any buttermilk, so I added a teaspoon of lemon juice to the regular milk I had and it worked. Thank you!!!!!

    SOOO GOOD!! 😋😋😋 My family loved it! I made a couple adjustments (made it 1 layer, used less frosting, only 1.25 cups of sugar for frosting, added sliced almonds and almond extract, and used homemade buttermilk using soy milk and ACV), but this recipe was FANTASTIC. Thank you so much!

The 3 different textures of carrot made a big difference and what a great tip. I love carrot cakes that are slightly orange and not like others that are a dark brown color. Thanks a bunch for this!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
