Get Vaughn’s Rum-Raisin Carrot Cake recipe: nyti.ms/4afUNLH
Sugarologie is such a great resource! I've been following her channel for awhile now.
Yes @Sugarologie!! 👏👏🎉 People finally starting to notice and value her work. I'm glad she got a shout-out
Vaughn's sartorial choices are giving. So happy to see him. ❤️
Hi, Vaughn. Welcome back, we have missed you!
Agreed. Vaughn, it has been too long. Make yourself more of a regular, AND someone needs to keep the reviewers "on task".
Vaughn is my favorite! I wish he had his own show somewhere!
If the stand mixer doesn't spin a dime in the bowl, the paddle isn't set low enough. There's a screw under the hinge of a kitchen-aid to adjust it. It's in the manual.
Great tip!
Wow! Nice tip!
that's very helpful. thanks
Vaughn, thank you for being your fabulous self! Great video, it's fascinating to learn about the differing variations, especially when it comes to carrot cake!
I understand the purpose of this series (which is fun! And helpful!) but my gold standard is Claire Saffitz’ carrot cake. My god. It’s amazing.
Totally agree! Soaking the carrots in buttermilk ahead of time to tenderize them before adding them to the mix is a game changer. She’s a brilliant recipe developer.
I can do with out the carrots.
I came here to say the same thing, with her brown butter cream cheese frosting!
@@bngr_bngr then it's not really a carrot cake. Which is fine, I like a nice spice cake and that is basically what a carrot cake is, spice cake with carrots.
@@jenniferestes5293 that was the only way our mom could get us to eat a carrot cake. Still love the frosting.
Id love to taste Vaughns cake, and whatever hes baking. 👀
I first read that as "cakes," though I'm sure that would also be true.
Good to see Vaughn again. I like orange juice and zest in the cake, and just walnuts. It usually works better with a mix of white sugar and light brown for me. All brown sugar can get a too chewy/brownie like.
Always enjoy Vaughn’s cooking experiments- this was another great one. His charm and cooking skills are a wonderful combination. Can’t wait for the next one!
My 2cents worth … 1 tablespoon pomegranate syrup … does something amazing.
Helen Rennie included this in her recipe.
Vaughn Vreeland + Dorie Greenspan is truly a match made in heaven. Not one of these variations looks bad!
Big fan of Vaughn.
I just love Vaughn he is so personable and of course talented !
This is my dream job! After working in kitchens for many years, it sounds SO fun to just be able to tweak and test recipes to perfect them! ❤
I always read the NYT Cooking comments! Lots of wisdom there.
Someone gave me grief many years ago about my carrot cake, because it didn’t have nuts and coconut. I’m allergic to them, so they’re going to be excluded because I’m not interested in dying stupidly.
I am 76.... Never Ever have had carrot cake with coconut???????
Being allergic to nuts certainly gives you good reason to leave them out! I love nuts, but am willing to do without to keep you alive and well!
How dare you only think about your life on the line?! What about the enjoyment of the food for others.
@@ichhabekeineahnung2462 also a great argument for veganism
@danbev8542 I am Not allergic to nuts
I like to swap in other soft cheeses in place of the generic philly (great for cheesecakes too). I made one the other day with about 1/3 mascarpone 2/3 farmers cheese in place of generic. I've used sheep as well as cow based cheeses... gives the complexity and sourness of the sour cream version but still has structure. I don't have a real recipe, anything with fancier soft cheeses and sugar seems to be a win. I'm on team pineapple.
We love a moist cake too, Vaughn 🤣
*clutches pearls*
Get the man a glass of water. The thirst is real.
A few years back I tried to come up with my “ideal” carrot cake. This was such a fun video of your adventures!
Hi Vaughn - Welcome back! I would not add the coconut, but that's just my preference.
My Vaughn is back for more recipes so good so luxurious carrot 🥕 cake 🍰 yum 😋
I really enjoyed this format !
Erin McDowell's Whipped Cream-Cream Cheese Frosting is a game changer for Carrot Cake. So much lighter, and it tastes even better than traditional Butter-Cream Cheese Frosting.
Vaughn is back!!!! 🎉
Just made this cake and I have to say it is delicious, incredible texture, super light and very “spicy” in the best way. My only swaps were stem ginger instead of candied ginger, which I put into the middle frosting layer instead of the top, and vanilla extract instead of the rum raisins because 1. Raisins are gross (sorry not sorry Vaughn) and 2. I didn’t want to wait 8 hours for them to soak. I love the addition of lemon zest in the frosting and will definitely keep using this recipe in the future.
Its been forever Vaughn!!!
So fun! Again. Love this series and Vaughn is a perfect informative entertainer. Look forward to trying the VV riff.
I love brown sugar, pineapple, lots of nuts, spices - less sugar. Lots of lemon in the cream cheese frosting!
i love love love this series ❤
I would like to for once have a carrot cake that actually tastes carrots. So I'm super tempted to do Sugarologie's recipe where she does a carrot puree from roasted carrots.
This was a great video! I love the idea of cooking the comments section. I hope there are more in this same series.
I would love to see you and your grandmum together again. Those home videos were great!
Cheers,
Upstate NY
I like this series and glad to see Vaughn. ❤
love this series
You have to try the Brazilian version of carrot cake!! Look for Paola Carrosella’s recipe
Yes! My Brazilian mother in law makes this! Brazil knows how to do cakes and sweets! 😋
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this recipe test and refit. I'd been looking specifically at Dorie Greenspan's recipe a month ago and wanted pineapple, rum raisins, ginger, and coconut and walnuts. You did it all and I will definitely be making your version with the brown butter-cream cheese frosting.
I have been waiting for a carrot cake video! Super happy to end my Friday by watching Vaughn be super entertaining while making my favourite cake 🤩also i love raisins and walnuts/pecans in my carrot cake
Nuts and coconut flakes, yum. Also the lemon juice!!! ❤ It
Adriana from Sugarologie low-key deserves a culinary food science Nobel prize💫.
Vaughn, pls keep coming back
Isn’t Vaughn giving Dan Levy vibes? Love to see them on the show together. ❤
VAUGHN! I really enjoy your videos.😊
Helen Rennie's version is pretty dang good, and the video is very enjoyable to watch, as well.
Would pay $150 for Vaughn”s version.
YYYYYAAAAYYYYY VAUGHN!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Long time no see!
vaughn AND carrot cake??? these are a few of my favorite things🎶
Great video. I add cinnamon, nutmeg and ground ginget always and less sugar. I am into the pineapple, sometimes the tidbits ( cut in half size) if I can't get crushed. For my frosting more butter less icing sugar , cream butter and cc then add icing sugar til I get right texture for spreading , always a spladh of vanilla. :))
Ok fine I’ll make carrot cake .. it is my fav cake 😊
I know you have all missed Vaughn, but we were on our honeymoon. He doesn't know it or remember it, but it definitely and totally for sure happened and wasn't entirely fabricated in my mind.
روووعة ماشاءالله تبارك الرحمن اكل زوين الله يعطيك الصحة ❤🎉🎉🎉
God, I love him 💖💖💖
Vaughn I saw you at the Bjork show! Hope you had fun!
I would like to see Vaughn cook in a tank top.
I flavored my grandma's sour cream pound cake recipe with grated carrots, reduced carrot juice and spices. I've never made a regular carrot cake since. It's different, but it's so much better.
store bought frosting for the win
I thought for a second Vaughn looks like the male version of Shawn Johnson East and now I can’t unsee it???
OMG I’m overwhelmed with carrot cake. After watching this it’s gonna take me some time before I can actually eat any carrot cake!
Vaughn, you have the best job, I really envy you! All my life I've had shitty jobs and all I really wanted to do was cook for my friends.
My aunts recipe included orange juice and orange peel never coconut that changes the taste, keep raisins and walnuts.
Sehr schön Video 😊😉🩶
Wow, how delicious!👍 Thank you very much colleague! Come and visit us!🥰
Im from germany, next to switzerland and we make the best carrot cake...
England
Vaughn is great, carrot cake is great.
Not a big fan of carrot cake but a big fan of Vaughn!
I'm not even hungry and I want this so bad. We do have some carrots knocking around...
There's over 600g of sugar in the lower sugar version?!? Damn, dog. Take it easy.
Loved all the testing, and seeing all the testers.
I was hoping you would have bumped up the spice quotient in your variations:
Cardamom, Ginger, Cloves come to mind.
Vaughn, can you share where you got the Adele's tshirt please??
Aww I was hoping he would roast the carrots. I'm curious how that could change the texture and enhance the flavor
Cream cheese delicious 😋
I just feel like if you add pineapple it isn’t a carrot cake anymore. To me, it’s like you’re making a version of a Hummingbird cake. I love pineapple but when it comes to my FAVORITE cake (Carrot), I have to keep it more classic. I like carrot, raisins, walnuts, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger and sometimes coconut. And of course a cream cheese frosting. I like the white chocolate addition AND the rum soaked raisins 😋
Cake bite flights with frosting pairings? Can we please get a cake shop like this, please? (Or, at least make this a wedding thing?)
Just an observation on Dorrie Greenspan's recipe: My Changes.
1) Raisins are soaked in rum; rum is added to the cake
2) All additions (coconut, carrots, pineapple, & pecans) are lightly coated in flour so they suspend and not sink.
3) Cinnamon, all=spice, and nutmeg.
4) Always add lemon zest to the cream cheese frosting (and frost the entire cake!!)
5) Always make the cake one day in advance, wrap, chill, and then frost the next day.
No pineapple and sour cream? Get the torches!!..lol Hands down Farm Journal 14k carrot cake is DA BEST! period.
I always watch a Vaughn video twice. First time for entertainment second time for the education.
❤❤❤
Hell yeah I love sugarology
I get older and Vaughn gets younger. How is that fair?
Vaaaauuuuughn!!!
My uncle (whose family had pecan orchards) always said, "The pee-can is what you keep under your bed when you don't want to go to the outhouse at night."
Pecan... like Vaughn...😜
In the 70’s pineapple was put in carrot cake for moistness.
after all of that required effort and you still kept the raisins...let's just call that a choice!
Applesauce Carrot Cake is the only way!
Vaughn , get Claire for so more videos please , and maybe Claire King two lol
Vaughn is getting hotter and hotter. He is so handsome.
I usually prefer a Swiss style carrot cake, which is really different, but this looks very good - I don't think coconut or pineapple belong in a carrot cake.
Pineapple in a carrot cake…no. That’s a Hummingbird Cake.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking. All these people trying turn it into hummingbird cake
If I comment will we get more videos of Vaughn?
I think he ate at least one whole cake during all of the tastings.
I’m interested to know how Honey Ginger Carrot got side-stepped over…
Wouldn't addition of pineapple just shift the recipe towards hummingbird cake..?
I would skip pineapple and totally frost the outside. Frosting is the best part of any cake.
Raisins, you brute
coconut >>>>>>>>>>>> raisins btw
Soaking raisins in water?!? Sacrilege! Soak raisins in hot orange juice or hot orange juice laced with brandy. There you go.
What caused all the cakes to sink in the center? How can you prevent that from happening?
I don't even care for carrot cake 🤫 but I am watching for Vaughn.
