    I love this woman she's so precious.
    If I may add I forgo adding flour to the raisins and soak them in hot coffee or hot water they are so much more plump and moist in a cake.
    Strain them squeeze the water out and they will be amazing!
    In the North we like a little bit more spice so I add a little bit of allspice and a little bit of nutmeg as well.

    Tammy, just like with pie cut two pieces before you remove one. For some reason the first piece of thin come out intact with no trouble at all.

    I loved watching this! I'm fascinated by your mixer. I tend to make mine very plain with no nuts, pineapple, dates or raisins. When I add these ingredients, I lose people with each addition. My secret to a good carrot cake is a little hand-grated fresh nutmeg.
    P.S. Ina Garten says grate carrots by hand for a fluffier cake. Organic carrots tend to be more flavorful.

    You did an outstanding job with that cake. The way you applied the icing and the decorations was excellent. I can see you learned from a professional. It's a labor intensive cake with the grating of the carrots and coating the raisins with flour and the chopping of the nuts but if you have the time, I'm sure it makes a big difference in the way it all turns out. The video was very enjoyable to watch.
