i know im asking randomly but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the account password. I love any tips you can give me.
@Emmett Bo i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
50 years ago as a boy, I worked in the premier bakery in La Jolla, CA with my mum. A secret ingredient we put in the carrot cake batter, I will now share with you since the bakery is no longer there. Based on your amounts there, fine grate one half teaspoon of fresh ginger. Adds an exotic flavor that's unexpected. Hope you like it.
So easy and perfect recipe.. I made yesterday for my husband's birthday. I replaced oil with butter, and used half amount of brown sugar and half of white sugar instead of complete white sugar. I added chopped dates too. The taste was heavenly. So soft and most moistured cake recipe. Thank you dear jemma. 🙏♥️
I have prepared it the second time with a small corrections (less sugar 10%..less oil 10 % ) and this is the perfection ! I am happy about this receip. I have used 4 pans for 15 cm diametr and i was delete the ammount of the ingredients for three as advised in a comments. Very very appreciate this video super clear and easy
I just made this but split the whole recipe by 4 because I just wanted to make one layer. It turned out to be delicious!! The cake and the buttercream are not too sweet or overpowering. And I used hazelnuts instead of walnuts & it turned out great !!
I've always made my carrot cake with roughly broken up walnuts so they end up in chunks in my cake. This is my first time seeing a recipe with finely chopped nuts. May I know how much better you like Jemma's recipe compared to regular ones with chunks of walnuts in (I'm assuming you've had regular carrot cakes before ha ha just like the ones I'm used to baking). I'm intrigued by this but don't want to waste my ingredients before I know how significantly better the difference in the result it'll be. Thanks in advance!
This is the first recipe of yours that I am trying out and also first time I trimmed the sides of the cake as in your video and although it seems wasteful, it really made a difference. This is a super delicious recipe. I made jt for a bake sale (after tasting it, of course) and it sold out fast! People who tried it said it tasted like it was from a fancy restaurant. This will be my new go to carrot cake recipe, thanks Jemma for the recipe!
Hey, did you squeeze any liquid out of the carrots or just added the freshly shredded in? I want to try this recipe but in the past when I haven't squeezed liquid out its been tooooooo moist
I am a carrot cake fanatic! My recipe is always identical to this EXCEPT I tried different ways to lighten up the amount of oil in it. My recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups oil but I use 1 cup crushed pineapple in it own juice and 1/2/ cup oil. Much better, not as greasy and the fruit gives it better flavor and it is still dense and moist. I've had marriage proposals over my carrot cake, it's that good. Try it!
It's the second time I have made this perfect carrot cake. I put the trimmings in the freezer and a when I needed them, they quickly defrosted and layered the crumbly cake with pineapple chunks and chilled ready made custard for an emergency pudding! Nothing was wasted!
Just made this recipe and this cake is so moist and delicious. Loving the texture all the finely ground walnuts give the cake. I haven't even added the icing yet and I could eat the whole cake. Thanks for the recipe Jemma.
Just making this for the third time. It really is THE best carrot cake recipe, as is the filling. My ward team are going to be very happy tomorrow, thank you 😊
I made this cake for a friend at work and it was fantastic. Sooooo moist and delicious and everyone loved it. I didn't trim it as Jemma does so it made a huge cake - serving about 16 to 20 people. Thank you Jemma for sharing such a great recipe.
I made it, it was really good. First cake I've ever made from scratch. Made for my wife's birthday (her favorite). Used 3 9inch pans instead of 8inch. Just what I had. Thank you so much!
I made this with two cake pan with 180°c at 60 minutes baking time and it turned out perfectly moist and browned with sweetness just nice for both the young at heart and little ones....Thank you so much Jemma😘
I made this carrot cake today... it was perfect👌🏾 100% better than shop bought cakes.. and it's not too sweet either... well balanced flavours... best recipe.. thanks jemma x
Made this gem for a birthday, it was a huge success. I subbed the sugar to dark brown sugar and only used 400g. For the cream cheese icing I only used 437g powdered sugar but it was very sweet so I think it can do with less. This recipe is a keeper, thanks Jemma!
Made this recently! Divided every amount by 3 to get a smaller cake and it was DELICIOUS!! Even without the nuts and cream cheese frosting so thank you for yet another amazing recipe! 😀
I have a very similar recipe. I have never leveled mine out, just frosted the layers as is (for family consumption) and that outer stuff you cut off is almost crispy - due to all that sugar and oil. It is so yummy! Love your little carrot friends. Love your videos!
love this recipe! it ended up baking pretty straight on top so I didn’t have to cut anything off 😋 also, 800g or even 750g was more than enough for the frosting. thanks for sharing, Jemma!
Hi Jemma I tried your recipe , and it was a huge success. But I made some adjustements on sugar. For the cake , I used only 400gr and it was already a little bit sugary for my taste. I also added some grounded fennel seeds with anise star ,and I can't describe you the smell in just few words. Concerning the icing , I used just 2 cups and it was fairly enough. 900gr is tooo much. I added some pinch of lemon juice ,and it tastes better 😍 thank you again for sharing your recipe .
Wanna say thank you for this recipe, !! So easy to make and so moist!! Was asked to do my mums 3 tiered wedding cake! was so worried but your channel saved my life. Thank you! X Had so many complements stating how tasty it was xxx Definitely recommend this recipe!! X
Lost track of how many times I’ve made this! And just like you said - this is definitely my go to recipe - which I try to share with as many people as possible. Thank you xx
I trimmed all my cakes just as Jemma did and they all ended up in my tummy. I really love this recipe! I made it for my 5 year old's birthday celebration on the 14th May 2017..and I had rave reviews and everybody loved it! Thanks Jemma! xx
I just did it. It is the best carrot cake i have ever tried😋 so moist and tasty. I did frosting differently that includes cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, whipping cream and powdered sugar. That worked perfectly for ur cake bcz I want less sweet frosting. Thanks for the recipe ♥️
I am dying to come to London and visit Crumbs and Doilies shop!! I am such a dessert person & these treats look amazing! I've literally never been out of the United States so here's to wishful thinking!!🙏🏼
I am going to London in the summer of 2018. Do you have any idea where the Crumbs & Doilies cake shop is? I would love to pop in & sample some cakes for myself & if I am very lucky, perhaps take a picture with my favourite idol, Jemma.
Carrot cake is my favourite! I make it very similar to this. Just walnuts and carrots, no raisins or any of the like. I put a bit of ginger in mine though. To me the absolute best topping for a carrot cake is candied orange peel
Fantastic cake. I only had 3 tins, so they were pretty full. For this reason they needed an extra couple of mins baking, but came out very cleanly Deliciously moist and I imagine it would keep well.... Will definitely use this again. Thanks
Thank you for this AMAZING recipe! I made it a few weeks ago and everyone who tried it loved it and wanted to know the recipe! It's so moist and delicious
Hi Jemma, I made cake today and it was the second time. It is very very delicious, The first try I used 1/4 of the ingredients with carrot and today I made 2/3 of the recipe with zucchini. Thank you very much.
I use both ginger & nutmeg as well. However I use a very light hand w/ginger, since it tends to easily steal the show. I suppose if you use finely chopped walnuts, you wouldn't need the nutmeg?
Amazing, tried this yesterday and truly this is the best recipe for the carrot cake, the only thing I tried different is added less icing sugar but still the cream turned out delicious. Thank you so much!
Hi Jemma, I've made 1/2 of your recipe a few days ago, my husband almost ate it all!!!. Saids it so delicious. Thank you for sharing and wish you a good health. Take care
A really nummy addition is crasins. I used to always add golden raisins but I didn't have any one day and thought what the heck. It' adds a nice tartness to the sweetness of the cake 😀
Loved the recipe, I’ll certainly try it! Carrot cake is traditional in Brazil! But we do it differently, with a blender you mix the carrot with the liquids and then you mix the dry ingredients. The result is a bit different and we cover with a kind of sugary chocolate ganach.
I've made a version of that cake with a recipe by Joconde's Baking, which apparently isn't 100% authentic according to the comment's section, but it was yummy all the same. Love the carrot + chocolate combo.
I beat egg whites separately and fold through the mixture. And added bit more cinnamon too. And 2 teaspoons of ginger. Just baking and hopefully it will be very nice and fluffy. Thanks for the recipe
Thanks for the great recipe! The filling was a bit sweet for me so I decided to just use less icing sugar and more cream cheese on my second go and it turned out great.
I've been using your carrot cupcake recipe as a cake recipe for so long! It always turns out perfect... i also like to add a little cinnamon to the cream cheese icing too.. :D
I've tried this recipe out and believe me when I say this recipe yields the most delicious and moist carrot cake..it was my first time and it was amazing.. ❤️❤️
Did the cake, but i didn’t put 1kg of sugar to the frosting, just 600gr because i thought that it was too much. And with 600gr it was already too much, unless you like your coffe with an island of sugar. The inside was perfect. Cheers!
I halved all of the ingredient amounts and made a two layer version of this carrot cake and it turned out so delicious! i would definitely recommend making it if you are thinking about it
I just made this and it was sooo good! I really loved the cream cheese frosting as well although for me I had to add quite a lot of heavy cream to thin it out since it was thick but it’s definitely a keeper!
It will still taste good! Changing the type of nuts used won't alter the over all taste much so I would go with what you prefer. I like to make a carrot cake with coconut :-)
Made this last night (easy) for work. It was absolutely devine - moist and delicious. It went down really well with everyone, with comments like “the best carrot cake I’ve ever eaten”. I kept my nuts in chunks, which worked well. Will definitely make again.
I though so too, but the ppl that made it said its good.... but... almost 1 kg for 200gr cheese soumds.... diabetes lol. I want to make it but i think i will go slowly ading the sugar
Ohhh nice... I'd leave it semi-naked (leave off last coating of icing) in summer and fully frosted in fall. Beautiful both ways! Your carrot decorations are ADORABLE... omg SO cute.
To be honest, for the frosting of my carrot cake i took 500 gr. cream cheese, 100 gr. butter and about 250 gr. of sugar and thought: Next time 200 gr. will be ok 😂😂😂 And i'm definitely somebody with a sweet tooth. In Germany, we don't like it that sweet i guess.
Let's just take a minute to appreciate Jemma who puts the recipe in the description box rather than the website
i know im asking randomly but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly lost the account password. I love any tips you can give me.

I only have one 8 inch/20 cm tin, so I baked two halves of the dough. As the tin is fuller this way, it took 55 minutes to bake! Hope this helps. :)

@@SarahTrivedi no it’s ok to put without squeezing
2hy?
I made this receipe more than 10 times and it always end perfect the best carrot cake ever.

Some thing different crushed pineapples.

Probably saved it to lick the bowl? LOL I do that all the time, to hell with raw eggs ha ha

Amazing, tried this yesterday and truly this is the best recipe for the carrot cake, the only thing I tried different is added less icing sugar but still the cream turned out delicious. Thank you so much!
The thing about cream cheese icing is that you always need twice as much as you’ll use cause everyone wants a couple of spoonfuls of it!

Same recipe good for about 50 cup cakes. 170deg for 24 mins. Thanks Jemma!!!!!!
In Brazil we eat carrot cake with chocolate frosting. It's so yummy 😋
Wow I've never heard of that combination, it sounds yum though!
Just made this carrot cake. It was delicious. Thank you Gemma ❤

Loved the recipe, I’ll certainly try it! Carrot cake is traditional in Brazil! But we do it differently, with a blender you mix the carrot with the liquids and then you mix the dry ingredients. The result is a bit different and we cover with a kind of sugary chocolate ganach.

oh my God you trimmed half of the cakes!!!
Sarah Millson "half"
actually more than half!
I'd freeze the trims and use them for cake pops later ......not that I usually cut my cake edges off 😄
Do you drain the carrots at all, they're pretty juicy ?
I rarely trim my cakes at all, I'd rather not waste the cake! Although saying that, I do eat the trimmings :-P
been making this cake years ago. definitely the best carrot cake i have ever made 👍🏻👍🏻 going to make it again tonight
hi jemma, i am so in love with all of your recipe. but can you make chocolate mud cake??😹😹😹
I used 2 9x13 pans. Worked out perfectly. Thanks for the recipe ❤
When you have every single spice in the world except...cinnamon😁
Try allspice or five spice
I beat egg whites separately and fold through the mixture.
And added bit more cinnamon too. And 2 teaspoons of ginger.
Just baking and hopefully it will be very nice and fluffy.
Thanks for the recipe
i LOOOOOVVVVEEEE carrot cake!!!! TY!!!
ive made this twice and it is incredibly moist.
Very beautiful cake, Jemma! The carrots are so cute!!
Thanks for the great recipe! The filling was a bit sweet for me so I decided to just use less icing sugar and more cream cheese on my second go and it turned out great.
I've been using your carrot cupcake recipe as a cake recipe for so long! It always turns out perfect... i also like to add a little cinnamon to the cream cheese icing too.. :D
Taylor Rose hi what’s the recipe that you use?
I love how happy those teeny carrots made you!
1:42am in Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Hello Jemma!! 🤗❤️
I've tried this recipe out and believe me when I say this recipe yields the most delicious and moist carrot cake..it was my first time and it was amazing.. ❤️❤️
If you are allergic to nuts (like me) do you think there are other alternatives to putting walnuts in the cake? Thank you!
Eloise Vriesman you don't have to add walnuts or any type of nuts, it just gives another flavour (I personally prefer carrot cake without nuts)
You could put oats maybe? You might have to add more liquid though. Or you could add granola for a crunchier effect?
what about raisins?
Eloise Vriesman , just leave them out or increase the carrot qty.
i add raisins and pineapples on mine
Did the cake, but i didn’t put 1kg of sugar to the frosting, just 600gr because i thought that it was too much. And with 600gr it was already too much, unless you like your coffe with an island of sugar. The inside was perfect. Cheers!
What do you do with the cut off bits? Seems like a waste of product unless you can reuse it somehow.
Rosebud990 cake pops? Snacks for the baker?
It's the 3rd time I'm making carrot cake with Emma's recipe, and it is exceptionally good!
You are my inspiration!!!
I halved all of the ingredient amounts and made a two layer version of this carrot cake and it turned out so delicious! i would definitely recommend making it if you are thinking about it
What size are those tins - I'm gonna try this recipe BUT half the mix :-) two tier * AND NOT CUT THE BEST BITS OFF *
She says it at the beginning, they are 8 inches each
I made this cake for my brother in-laws birthday all the family enjoyed it so thank you very much for sharing x
Any chance you could do some gluten and dairy free recipes? x
I just made this and it was sooo good! I really loved the cream cheese frosting as well although for me I had to add quite a lot of heavy cream to thin it out since it was thick but it’s definitely a keeper!
Almost 1kg of sugar in the icing? 🥴
My cake turned out incredible Jemma. I will definitely come back to this recipe.
I tried this recipe today. I really like the cake but the frosting had so much sugar I could barely taste the cream cheese :(
Nitu Koranmath I hate it when the frosting is so sweet
Almost 1000g of icing sugar that's too sweet. But love the cake though.
Use brick style cream cheese then you can cut down the sugar by half. And while mixing, stop adding sugar once the icing holds :)
Jemma , I have followed your instructions and recipe. Faultless every time I’m baking this amazing carrot cake recipe. Thanks 👨🍳❤️👍
Will it still taste good if I use hazelnuts instead of wallnuts? I dislike the little bitter taste that can occur with walnuts
I don't know, but I found a recipe with pecans.
It will still taste good! Changing the type of nuts used won't alter the over all taste much so I would go with what you prefer. I like to make a carrot cake with coconut :-)
Very helpful, thanks a lot! :)
perhaps dint use almonds though as you will get a bakewell taste to it.
Claire Elizabeth Cakes please do you use dried coconut shavings or fresh ones?
Made this last night (easy) for work. It was absolutely devine - moist and delicious. It went down really well with everyone, with comments like “the best carrot cake I’ve ever eaten”. I kept my nuts in chunks, which worked well. Will definitely make again.
Crazy amount of sugar in this
I though so too, but the ppl that made it said its good.... but... almost 1 kg for 200gr cheese soumds.... diabetes lol. I want to make it but i think i will go slowly ading the sugar
Ohhh nice... I'd leave it semi-naked (leave off last coating of icing) in summer and fully frosted in fall. Beautiful both ways! Your carrot decorations are ADORABLE... omg SO cute.
MashAllah
I made this carrot cake yesterday. I also added raisins, it was delicious without the frosting too!
It says vegetable oil in the description but sunflower in the video - what do I follow?
Sara Williams sunflower oil is a type of vegetable oil, so just use what vegetable oil you like or already have.
Sunflowers aren't vegetables lol
This really is the best carrot cake i've ever had! Thank you!
Has anybody tried to bake this with less sugar ?
summer sun yes it comes out fine
To be honest, for the frosting of my carrot cake i took 500 gr. cream cheese, 100 gr. butter and about 250 gr. of sugar and thought: Next time 200 gr. will be ok 😂😂😂
And i'm definitely somebody with a sweet tooth.
In Germany, we don't like it that sweet i guess.
i never see such fluffy carrot cake. will try it out one day.
