  • This classic carrot cake recipe has it all: an addictively moist crumb, subtle, warm spices, plenty of sweet carrot flavor, crunchy pecans, and a rich, tangy cream cheese frosting. My easy carrot cake recipe is perfect, and I think once you bake it, you’ll say the same! With loads of freshly grated carrots, depth from vanilla and brown sugar, and velvety cream cheese frosting, this subtly spiced cake is bound to be your new favorite. Fresh carrots and vegetable oil keep the cake super moist for days after baking, so you enjoy slices all week long.

    I grew up in Mexico eating an amazing carrot cake that had all the ingredients you used plus the ones you mentioned your mom uses. Raisins and pineapple. I loved it! We used the same recipe as long as I can remember but when I moved I lost it. Since then I have made many carrot cakes and none tastes the same unfortunately 😢. I keep praying one day I will find a recipe I’m happy with. I have to try yours for sure. Oh another thing is that we always used to eat the cake without frosting. It was more like a coffee cake. So delicious 😋

      My local grocery story bakery always made carrot cake with raisins. I had it every since I was a kid and thought that's just how it's made it. When I got older and got carrot cake elsewhere I noticed that raisins are "special". I have to go out of my way to make sure there's raisins because there's literally no other way to have it to me! It's just the right texture and flavor balance with the nuts and carrots ❤

    I absolutely love all of your videos, without question. My husband and I had to give up white sugar and white flour two years ago. I have been making your recipes with a combination of quinoa flour, coconut flour, and almond flour. For sweeter I have been substituting blue agave syrup and honey. It all translates very nicely. Thank you for all the inspiration you share with me and all of your (many) fans!

    That looks so good, never had it before though. Im from Brazil and here carrot cakes are very diferent, so good but a whole new vibe. We blend the carrots into the batter so it becomes all orange and smooth, to top it of we just add a coat chocolate sauce. Goes really nice with a cup of coffee.

    You should try someday the brazilian style carrot cake! All wet ingredients go on the blender, including the carrots, and then you mix with the dry ones. After baking, it's covered with some kind of chocolate frosting: ganache, brigadeiro (a kind of fudge made out of condensed milk and chocolate powder) or the traditional cracked one made with milk, sugar, chocolate powder and some butter. It tastes like "granny's cake"!! Delicious!

    I tried it today and my nephews love it. I also take out half cup of sugar and substitute for brown and dark brown sugar; i add some thinly sliced ginger as well. The cake turn out great, not too sweet for me to enjoy and the amount of cinnamon in this recipe is perfect (I hate strong cinnamon smell). Now I wait for my mom to try since it mother’s day tomorrow.
