Ultimate Moist Carrot Cake Recipe | Candied Carrots | Easter Special

- Moist Carrot Cake - Blessed Easter everyone. I did an eggless version of carrot cake some time back, and here is the version with egg. The cake of this recipe is extremely moist and soft with the grated carrots and pecans in it, make the chewy sensation so delicious and satisfying. For most cake used piping deco, I have decided to do something different that is using candied carrots to decorate the cake, it made it super pretty and presentable. In addition, these candied strips are so delicious, a little crispy and chewy at the same time. I am so happy and excited about this cake because my family enjoyed it so much, they can’t wait as I was decorating the cake (to complete my last part of the video). I hope you’re inspired to bake this cake this Easter. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
❤️ Moist Carrot Cake
I am using 7-inch cake pan
300g (5 cups) carrots, grated
60g (1/2 cup) pecans, chopped
120ml (1/2 cup) whole milk + 1 tbsp white vinegar (to make buttermilk)
200g (1 ¾ cup) cake flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
2 eggs
180g (3/4 cup+2 tbsp) brown sugar
120g (1/2 cup) vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
❤️ Cream Cheese Frosting (No grits)
120g (1 cup) powdered sugar
2 tbsp hot water
225g (1 cup) cream cheese
280g (1 ¼ cup) unsalted butter
Sugar syrup [2 tbsp sugar + 1 tbsp water]
❤️ Candied Carrots [Deco]
2 large carrots
300g (1 ½ cup) fine sugar
230ml (1 cup) water
Instructions:
❤️ Moist Carrot Cake
1. Preheat oven at 180°C/355°F.
2. Grate the carrots. Chop the pecans. Set aside.
3. In a cup, add milk and vinegar, give it a quick stir. Set aside for 10 min or until needed.
4. In a large bowl, sift all the dry ingredients. Set aside.
5. In another large bowl, add eggs and sugar. Mix until well combined, cream and fluffy.
6. Add oil and salt, mix until well combined respectively.
7. Add the sifted dry ingredients in two batches, alternate with the milk mixture which is also added in two batches. Use a whisk to mix the mixture, do not over mix. Do not add all at one go, as it will create lumps and as a result over mixing it.
8. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped pecans. Fold in just until they are incorporated.
9. Transfer the batter into a 7-inch pan, greased and lined with parchment paper.
10. Tap the pan few times to release air bubbles.
11. Bake in preheated oven at 180°C/355°F for about 35-38 min or until the inserted skewer comes out clean.
12. Remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely.
❤️ Cream Cheese Frosting (No grits)
1. In a small bowl, add sugar and hot water. Mix until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to let it cool completely.
2. In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese until softened and creamy. Add in the sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
3. Add in the butter (slightly softened). Mix until well combined, creamy, fluffy and pale. The frosting is now cream and ready to frost the cake.
❤️ Candied Carrots
1. Choose 2 largest carrots you can find. Remove the skin.
2. Use a peeler to peel the widest strips you can peel. You can use any peeler tool you have. As you peel the strips, it’s normal that some strips may go to waste (can be broken). Be careful with the peeler, don’t hurt yourself!
3. As you peel on one side of the carrot, rotate the carrot to peel some narrow strips. This is optional for narrow strips but it may be useful for this cake deco later.
4. Place all the strips on a napkin. Press on them with another napkin to remove as much moisture from the carrot.
5. In a sauce pan, add sugar and water. Bring it to a boil. Lower the heat to medium low, and cook the strips for about 10-15 min or until you noticed the strips has become translucent.
6. The water mixture volume will eventually reduce by half. Turn off the heat. Remove the strips from the pan quickly. Do not cook the strips until the water is drying up as the strips will get stuck to each other.
7. Let the strips cool down completely.
8. Pick some narrow strips to use for the curls. I used chopsticks, you may use anything you find equivalent. Roll and make the strips curled around the chopsticks. Place the sticks on a pan. Place the curled up strips in the freezer for about 15-20min.
❤️ Assemble the cake
1. After frosting the cake.
2. Remove the carrot curls from the freezer.
3. Put all the deco in order. Pick the widest strips to go to the sides of the cake. You will need 8 wide strips. Pick the wide strips to make round ribbons on top. I made 3 of those. Place some curls randomly on the top.

Awesome cake
Hey I really appreciated this cake. Being self taught is great but I think I did great, also urs is better.
I am so happy you gave it a try. Self taught isn't impossible at all especially when you have a video tutorial. Great job, my dear! 💕
It's delicious 👌👌👍
ما شاء الله كيكة جميله جدا جدا جدا ♥️♥️♥️
Can you please link where you got the cake cutter and icing spatula from thanks !
Look very nice
Where can I find a cake pan like that? I didn't see anything like it on the internet. This will be the cake I bake for my mom's 90th birthday!!!!
Amazon should have the same thing ☺️
Love ur bake, may I know the depth of tin? Would be really nice if u can include the depth of the tin for all your video. Thank u! 🥰
Hi Ms. Fiona...i baked this yesterday and it turns out really well...now if i turn this recipe into cupcakes, how many cupcakes it would make??
Hi dear. Probably around 7-8 cupcakes. This is only based on an estimation 😊
Thank you so much Ms. Fiona..😉
Superb
Finally a recipe with just two eggs!🙄💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Can I replace pecan with almond? Couldn’t find pecan here at my area
Can I use something else instead of cream cheese for frosting......
hello there,can i substitute milk and vinegar with plain yogurt instead? 1:1 ratio
I don't use oil please tell me how much butter. Beautiful cake though.
I attempted this on weekend, the flavour was good but the cake didn't rise as high as yours, what went wrong you think?
Try to mix the wet ingredients a little longer especially the eggs and sugar. but once you add in the dry ingredients, just fold until combined, don't over mix. Make sure you preheat your oven well for at least 6 min. This batter is heavy and dense, so make sure your leavening agents is well sifted in. Basically that's it, it's pretty straight forward.
Alternatively, you can also divide batter into 3 pans for easy baking, the cake will cook and rise easily, and but the baking time to 30 min. This method is just another option if you find it not satisfied with one pan baking. Hope it helps
@@gracioustreatz7231 all my colleagues praised the cake taste better than the one in cafe.
I will give it another go but with your provided advice this time.
Splitting it up is another good way but it takes a bit more effort and time lol...
Looking forward to your next creation, you don't do a lot of pastry dessert,.hope to see bit more on pastry/tart type recipes.
Can I omit ground nutmeg and ground cloves?
Yes you can, if you don't like the spice. But the spices do bring up a good fragrant and flavor of the cake
@@gracioustreatz7231 Thank you 😊
Did you get the cake section divider on Amazon? New Subbie!
Can we use almond instead of pegan
Yes you can
Can we use whole wheat flour and jaggery
Please suggest
Yes you can use jaggery. I suggest you don't use all whole wheat flour, it will make the cake heavy and dense. I suggest that you use the most 20% whole wheat, and remaining cake flour, which adds up to the total of mentioned cake flour in the recipe
Did you use 240ml measuring cup
My cup says 250ml. More or less the same
@@gracioustreatz7231 thank you for saying
❤️❤️❤️👍🏽🥰💋
Hi. Can I use a 7" square tin?
Yes you can. The volume for square is slightly more but it's fine
@@gracioustreatz7231 Thank you so much. Will give it a try
you’re beautiful ✨☁️💫⚡️🌙 ✰!
Look very nice
So tempted to make this amazing recipe of carrot cake. The time of the effort will be relentless ( if I may to exaggerated it) I guarante I will be failed to make that carrot decorations, such a work of arts that is, in other hand, I would be over joy, I will be proud of myself if I succeed it to bake this cake. I think everything have to be precise in term of the measurements, and obviously have to be patient, and have passion of baking..
Happy Easter Everyone. Stay safe and carry on baking..
Hi Fiona. I've been waiting all day to sit down, relax and watch this video and have to say i'm a happy bunny (no pun intended as it's Easter) , as always perfection. This is without doubt the yummiest looking carrot cake i have ever seen. soon as i can get out to fetch some ingredients to make this it will be top of my list. I would also be interested to see your version of lemon drizzle cake sometime if i'm not being too cheeky. Many thanks lovely lady, have a great Easter weekend and keep safe.
