Amazing Carrot Cake Recipe

My delicious carrot cake recipe is almost too easy to believe and my gosh is it good! The batter has toasted pecans, shredded carrot (of course), and lots of spices! The cake is very moist but not at all oily! Covered in cream cheese frosting and topped with a ring of cute buttercream carrots!

This year I decided to do something different for my wife's birthday. With absolutely ZERO experience baking, I decided that I was going to bake a cake, my first experience, as a way to show her that I wanted to do something special for her. It came out surprisingly delicious. She loved it. We all loved it. I am actually excited now to try other recipes. Your instructions are easy to follow. I THANK YOU so much for this.

“If it falls down, pick it right back like a friend.” I like that.

I can’t believe you’re the one who made this recipe. This is the cake that made me fall in love with baking. It was the best cake I’ve ever made, and to this day people ALWAYS ask me to make it. I’ve been watching your videos and to find out you made this recipe is amazing. Thank you so much

[MsGodsown]

Oh Yes I would love your recipe for your family's carrot sheet cake with pineapple! Anyone else on board with that request?!

[jaimereynolds]

Carrot cake is my favorite cake! When people add raisins to it though, it makes me want to cry lol

[rajdeomohan]

You are the chirpiest cook, without being annoying. You're real. I love that.

I haven’t baked in 2 years and my boyfriend wanted me to make a carrot cake for his birthday since we can’t go out due to the quarantine and let me tell you, this was AMAZING. I searched all over the internet for the perfect recipe and it turned out so great and it impressed his family too. The sour cream and apple sauce really made the difference. Subscribed!

[graemehunter]

oh my word. I am 60 something and I've just met the man of my dreams. Handsome, erudite, clever and cooks professionally.! No really what I am truly appreciative of is the little teachable moments you manage to share as well as teaching the actual how to. Thank you please don't leave me ever.

@preppy kitchen - My husband gave me a standing mixer for Christmas and this recipe was the first cake we had tried. First time baking cake and we were so amazed at how delicious it turned out. Our 97 and 90 years old aunts loved it, our friend who bakes often asked which recipe we used and we showed her this video and she appreciated your work. Next Friday, we are planning to do your apple cake recipe! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us! Love love love!

My wife is in love with your YouTube channel. You motivated her to bake and now my home is a happier and sweeter place!
Thanks!
I’m so glad I found your channel.

I made this, and it was the best cake I’ve ever had in my entire life! I just substituted applesauce for orange marmalade, and added 1/4 of mayo to make it super moist. 10000/10! Thank you so much! Making it again for my birthday tomorrow!

I made this carrot cake, cream cheese frosting too! So proud of myself it came out sooo good & my family loved it. I also used the baking strips & my cakes came out flat & even! Gonna make it again this week!

[rsstenger]

The first time I heard about “cake strips” was from you video. I ordered them and tried it out. I no longer bake my cake without the help of the cake strip. Thank And extra thanks for using the metric units too.

This is by far the BEST carrot cake recipe I've ever made. So glad I found Preppy Kitchen!

[darkfireeyes]

Thank you for making this video. I made this cake for my husband's birthday this week. Thanks to you, it turned out AMAZING. He asked for "interruptions" so I added toasted walnuts to the batter, along with some soaked and drained golden raisins and currants. I also added a tsp of lemon juice to the cream cheese frosting along with one of vanilla and vanilla bean scrapings. It was so rich and moist it made us need a moment with our food.
It was the second time in my life I'd ever made a real cake. Thank you again!!💕

[lizmiller]

I also grew up with carrot cake that had pineapple in it. Ppl just don’t know what they’re missing. It’s awesome! Just add in drained crushed pineapple when you add in the carrots, simple. Ohhh, turns up the volume and earns your loyalty, in just one taste. ⚡️💖⚡️

[daniellaclarinda]

I made this for my boyfriend and a couple of my friends tonight. They absolutely loved the cake. This was my first time ever making carrot cake and I’m glad everyone liked it. Thank you so much for the recipe!!
