      @dynamicworlds1 6 лет назад +13

      Bunnies and eggs are leftover trappings of the origional pegan fertility holiday.
      Religions used to change the meanings of holidays all the time to get people to convert because it's so much easier to change what a holiday is supposed to be about than get people to stop celebrating a holiday they enjoy.

    • @gericstewart
      @gericstewart 6 лет назад +3

      Hmm, maybe my uncle was wrong then? The Easter Bunny hides his eggs because he doesn't want anyone to know he's a pagen; it has nothing to do with him screwing a chicken. The more you know!

    Chef John... my experience with this recipe! 😂
    REVEAL: My neighbors wouldn't stop raving about this carrot cake that I made. I don't bake much, but this was a hit!
    CONFESSION: So a while back, I tried to invent a pecan praline with a twist. You know how good sweet pepper jelly is, right? And jalapeño candy and ice cream? So I thought I would make a jalapeño pecan praline. Since I'm not experienced as a candy maker, it just didn't turn out. So I had this big batch of very hard, peppery clumps of sugar with embedded pecans. It wasn't bad, just too hard and too sweet.
    SOLUTION: I put the failed pralines away and stored them for a few months. So when I later decided to make this carrot cake and began to buy the ingredients, I remembered that I already had pecans in the pralines, so I decided to use them in the recipe... I could also dissolve the sugar from the pralines for the recipe, too! It slipped my mind that there was also jalapeños in it.
    RESULT: So the carrot cake turned out to be really, really good, as my neighbors attest. It just has a certain spark. The flavor is just faint enough to be indefinable. Just a touch. So that's my secret ingredient. 😜
    DON'T TELL MY NEIGHBORS.

    I also had him add a couple tablespoons of Baily's Irish cream to your cream-cheese frosting.

  • @yuliayuts3361
    @yuliayuts3361 4 года назад +2

    I follow this recipe for the last 2 years now. It is simply unbelievable!! I do only 2 small changes (chemists we have little habits!): I don't use coconut oil (instead I put sunflower oil) and the walnuts I put them in the oven for like 4 minutes to bring out their sweetness. The frosting goes with reduced sugar (ladies are always on diet over here..)
    So many friends of mine asked for this recipe, it's like a tradition already! I pass it on and people are just having the most amazing time EVER. I love your recipes, John! And your blog

  • @HugoHugunin
    @HugoHugunin 6 лет назад +27

    I've always topped my carrot cake with a yogurt buttercream frosting. Make a buttercream and substitute unflavored yogurt for the milk or cream. It's outstanding and the _slight_ tartness is a nice counterpoint of the sweet cake. People who have tasted it absolutely love it.

    • @lindapestridge3073
      @lindapestridge3073 2 года назад +2

      @@lindapestridge3073 thank-you for trying my recipe. It started out as a "whoops" when I started to make frosting and realized that I had no milk or cream. After it went over so well with coworkers and friends, it became a staple that I have used over and over. I find that it becomes a refreshing substitute for frosted sugar cookies in the summertime.

    This is my all time favorite cake, my recipe is similar to this except I don't use pineapple or nuts, I use WAY more carrots, and add cardamom as a secret ingredient :)
    Can't wait to try this variation out!

    I bought 10 pounds of carrots the other day and my roommates chirped me for buying too much, but it was on sale and cheaper than buying 3 individual carrots
    Anyway I left them on the counter too long and most of them rotted but I didn't know until I made the batter
    So my roommate and I substituted the carrots for apples and made apple cake and I've got to say this was a delicious apple cake recipe
    So yeah, thank you for the apple cake recipe

      carrots do like to be cold, but you guys thought quick, and saved the recipe, not alot of folks realize, it's not so much recipes the Chef is teaching, it's the techniques, ingredients can be traded out to a certain extent.

    This is a wonderful recipe, and I have shared it with people I sing with at our church choir. In response to Chef John (what a great dude!!!) about rabbits and Easter, I am told that in the spring when a mother rabbit has little ones, she hides them in a hole that she has prepared. Three days later, the little rabbits emerge. Three days...same as the Resurrection of Christ at Easter.

My boys would not be down with no raisins. Carrot cake is an Easter staple at our house, so thanks for the tips, Chef! 😊❤️

    Looks good, never added pineapple before. Also, Easter was originally a Pagan holiday celebrating the reawakening of the Earth and the new life it brings. Since bunnies are so good and preproducing, they're a symbol of fertility. Eggs are a symbol of new life. That's why bunnies are an important part of Easter 🐇🐰🐇😚
