  • This moist (say it with me: "moist") carrot cake could be one of the greatest and easiest cakes you will ever make, it's arguably one of the most underrated cakes in the game. Its simplicity and deliciousness are off the charts and you will not go wrong in making the moistest (yes, I said it) cake you will ever have.

      @adbreon Před 3 lety +67

      This doesn’t even really need a whisk which in the spectrum of cake makes it very low effort. The spectrum of cake does start pretty close to the fiddly end of things you can do though.

    Made this cake. When Josh emphasizes moist, he’s not kidding. Grating the carrots definitely boosts the moisture here, so spongy. Cake is also quite heavy. One slice puts you out for sure. The only reason this is upsetting is the richness and variety of flavors here just makes you want to eat more. Absolutely delicious.

    My daughter (an excellent cook) is turning 17 and asked me (a less excellent cook) to make her birthday cake because she was too busy. She was pretty worried until I told her I was using a Joshua Weissman recipe, then she relaxed. I just finished it and it came out perfect! (BTW the other menu item for dinner is Chicken and Waffles from you-know-who!). We both love your videos. I've recently made Korean fried chicken and no-smoker ribs, and they were fantastic!

    Josh I just want to say thank you for making this cake. My dad past away over 5 years ago from cancer. He was an amazing baker and also loved cooking, unfortunately my love for cooking hadn't sparked yet so I just sort of took it for granted and didn't pay attention to what he was doing. One of my favorite things he baked was carrot cake. I wanna use this recipe as sort of a stepping stone to try and recreate what he used to make. I know I could probably use any old recipe, but I love watching you on here so I wanna use yours. Thanks again and I'll try to reach out to you to let you know how it goes. One thing I do remember about his is that he use a ton of carrots 😁

    Before COVID my husband and I used to go have lunch at a local deli that had a great soup and sandwich deal that always came with a slice of carrot cake. We haven't had it for a while and I want to recreate the experience at home. This is a step in the right direction. Thank you!

  • @byaialele5916

    Small tweaks I'd make to the recipe:
    TIP 1: When making the batter, I didn't need to add any excess milk. The cake batter will be somewhat tight, but once you add the carrots and mix it up, the excess water will loosen it up perfectly. ( At least this was my experience, results may vary due to absorption rates as Joshua said )
    TIP 2: I would do either 3/4 cup of walnuts/pecans OR 1/2 cup of walnuts/pecans INSTEAD OF original 1 cup of walnuts/pecans. Nutty flavour is slightly overpowering the carrots. If you like it like that though, do the entire 1 cup. If you want it they way I prefer ( more balanced), go for the 3/4 cup. If you want it more carrot-y, do the 1/2 cup.
    TIP 3: For the frosting, I'd do 1/4 cup of heavy cream INSTEAD OF original 3/4 cup of heavy cream. I tried 1/2 cup of heavy cream, and even that was too watery IMO. ( Sour cream texture I guess?)
    TIP 4: To make dark brown sugar, I added 1/2 light brown sugar and blitz it in the food processor to get it loose, then poured in 1/2 tbsp of molasses and blitz until evenly distributed. Another way is the same process but add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, don't need to blitz, then add 1/8th cup molasses, and then blitz. Boom! Dark brown sugar!
    TIP 5: If you're making this entire recipe into 1 large cake instead of 2, it'll have to go for at least 50 minutes for those doing it that way. By the time the cake is cooked through, the edges will be crispy though, so for the absolute best results, do what Joshua did in the video.
    TIP 6: If you're using salted butter for the caramel sauce, I'd do 1/2 a tsp instead of 1 tsp of kosher salt. Also, wait for the sauce to cool for the best result. Mine turned out great - great flavour and small punches of saltiness.
    The cake was very moist and delicious, frosting was great, and caramel was B-O-M-B. Good recipe

    Love carrot cake thou I'll omit from the nuts as I have allergies. Also tip I use in making a tiered rainbow carrot cake is to use rainbow carrots separated by color in separate 1 inch cake pans. Also as I dont like wasting the rounds I find crumbling them on the buttercream icing a good substitute for the nuts visually.

  • @_Biggie_

    Just an idea, if you do make this. When you cut the cake to make it flat, don't throw it away. Make cake pops with the left over icing.

    Just made the carrot cake and it is really good. My wife loves carrot cake and she was very clear that this was a delicious carrot cake. The caramel sauce tastes extremely well with this so I would recommend making this too. It is a quite heavy cake and a a medium to small size slice was more than enough. Thanks for the recipe! Also your (key)lime pie from your book is an all time favourite!

    I tried this recipe this morning and everything went well-I reduced granulated sugar to 50g, no light brown sugar at all, and added the same amount of brown sugar. For the frosting, I didn’t use a lot powder sugar. In other words, I didn’t use the suggested amount of sugar! And everything tastes good! We don’t need that much sugar, when we can adjust the recipe...but I do like Josh’s videos

    • @Drew_Snydermann
      @Drew_Snydermann Před 3 měsíci

      Agreed. I reduced the sugar from 430g to 300g and it was still a sugar bomb. If it's still good at 100g I'm doing that next time.
