Thank you. Will be making a 2-layer version of this tomorrow to take to my mother. Chef John can do no wrong.
Where's the promised recipe/video for the cream cheese frosting?
@@PockASqueeno For the frosting (slightly different ratio from the old version):
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, or to taste
about 3 cups powdered sugar, or to taste

john ive watched many of ur videos and has sparked a love of cooking..thank you !
he can cook, he does the office related jokes and he does not put raisins in his carrot cake. plus his voice is so calming
perfect man recipe right there!
"You guys after all are the Dwight Schrutes of desserts made with roots." PLUS Assistant regional manager vs. Assistant to the regional manager joke? Seriously, how much more awesome could you be, John?
That's about it.
I let my "bad pun" guard down for *one minute* and was promptly clothes lined by the "grate job" pun.
grate commentary.
Never let that pun guard down when watching Chef John videos :-)
Chef John is a pun ninja.
A Pun fu ninja.
Well Chef John glad your voice is back. Sorry I did'nt get to hear that sexy laringitis voice. Yes, I was you know who you are fans. Any way, I love carrot cake and can't wait to try your version. Pineapple? What a taste sensation! Should have thought of that myself. Anyway. Glad you're feeling better. Enjoy!
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 really appreciate the use of hand tools instead of electric tools. Thank you Chef John, for keeping it real.
"Although why do we think of rabbits again when we think of Easter? Oh, that's right -- the eggs." I chortled hardly at that! Nice one, Chef John.
Indeed. It reminded me of the old joke about why the Easter Bunny hides his eggs... ;)
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.
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!
Easter was a ripped off holiday of the goddess ester who's holy symbol was a rabbit. I think she was a Sumerian goddess.
Did you hardly chortle (barely?) or heartily?
Made it today because why the F not. I skipped the frosting because I wanted to see how the cake itself would taste. It came out FANTASTIC. Everyone at my dinner party loved it. Chef John this was a winner.
Crazy person alert! 🤪
@@wewd internet troll alert.
Made this for my wife's birthday yesterday, absolutely fantastic!
"a touch of sugar" *dumps whole bag into bowl*
Finn Ross My sentiments exactly...I said that's a touch of sugar..no way!
LOL! I knew I heard him say 'a touch of sugar'. But then I saw a whole heap of sugar pelting down...it was like on top of me, and I felt sure it fell in there by accident. But he didn't say 'Oops' nor take it out so...wow!
He does that as a joke.
That's his dry humor. He does that a lot, but it goes over the heads of some people.
Yeah, back the dump truck in.
"No matter how you do it, you're doing a grate job."
This is why we love Chef John.
“A little touch of sugar” 😂
Sarah *DUMP*
Yeah.. Good grief.
Sarah my thots exactly. My eyes got so wide when he said touch of sugar then BAM...a pound was poured. Lov chef Jon
Damn you sure were excited about this video, weren't you? 😂
lmao I caught that!
Had my husband give this a go for my birthday. He was iffy on veggies in cake, but admits it's delciious. 10/10!
I also had him add a couple tablespoons of Baily's Irish cream to your cream-cheese frosting.
Carrot cake and spice cake, two of my favorites.
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
The amount of Chef John this week is I N T E N S E
I want to thank you for mixing it all by hand. Not everyone has all the fancy mixers and it's nice to know what it looks like without the use of a mixer.
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.
I took your idea
It was amazing
Like you say the yogurt gives it a tart flavour, i will allways do this from now on thank you.
@@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.
Chef John is the gold standard of TH-cam chefs - Knowledgeable, genuinely amusing and not inclined to fill his content with exaggerated hype.
Love this man's speech patterns: he speaks with love and gentleness
... and dry humor! Some of these people don't understand.
But he could be a "cereal" killer...lol
Actually, his cadence is quite unusual, I have never come across that before.
Just baked this cake and frosted! Taste perfect! I only use 1/4 of the sugars that Chef John used. It was perfect for our palates! Thank you very much Chef John! This is the best carrot cake I have eaten!
That sounds good to me..I don't have a sweet tooth, but I want to try this recipe...
Did U use the same number of eggs?
This cake is ballin' AF. Made it twice so far, and will continue to serve it up to the craven masses (my family).
I really enjoy Chef John’s videos. He’s fun to watch and explains his recipes very well. ❤️
Wow. I didn’t think Chef John could get any better but then he made that Office reference🤯
Sarah ‘loved him just a little more
More comments, pls. 4 is not enough :D
he didn't even make note of the fact the dwight is a beet farmer so of course he's the perfect reference to make when talking about a cake made from root vegetables, and now that i'm explaining it i've completely removed all the humor from his joke
Which is exactly a Dwight thing to do, so it still fits.
YES was about to comment the same thing
Dear God,
Chef John didn't put raisins on his carrot cake.
I just wanted to say thanks.
Amen
Blueshirt
This modern day raisin hate needs to end!
Blueshirt I was going to comment almost the same exact thing then saw yours. 👍🏻
Who the fuck does that
I always use golden raisins in my carrot cake, an entirely different experience than dark raisins. Exceptional.
Sorry Blueshirt but history will prove us raisin lovers right.
Between you, Chef John, and your followers' comments, this is the perfect channel. Love watching these. LOVE reading the comments and hearing the humor. It’s like family banter so often. Will be trying the carrot cake this week. You are the best!
Love you chef John, from Morocco in Africa..I tried some of your great receipe and It was just a success 👏👏👏 It's always a pleasure to hear you explaining new recipes ❤❤❤❤ bravo et chapeau 👌
Chef John, since I began watching your channel I have gained 10 pounds. So thank you very much. It's all your fault.
RIP😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You are the Rachael Ray of your Carrot Cake.
You need Body by Jake for your carrot cake.
Sooo you started.. what.. two weeks ago? 😝
Truth... about a month. I love his channel, and of course the food.
Seriously you need a cooking show on TV. With that voice and your witty comments I would binge watch that show all the time!🥕
Carrot cake and cream cheese frosting is the best cake/frosting combination 😍 i can take or leave regular frosting but I can't get enough of this combo.
Made this tonight. I should have made the pineapple and walnut bits much finer, but it was clear that this is going to be my go-to carrot cake recipe for life.
Just when I thought I couldn't love carrot cake anymore, you come and rock my world with this.
I LOVE carrot cake! And every recipe I’ve made of yours is amazing. I just made the lasagna again 2 days ago. I’d better make this soon, while I’m still pregnant and no one will be angry with me when I eat it all 😃
“And as always... en-joyy!” Love that!
"Because I wanted it to be harder and take longer." That's what she said.
Maren-Anne Melvik YES 😂
Lol 😂 love it
Wow that went right over my head
...Also what she said...
Preach sister!
I hate it when Chef John makes jokes like that, all it does is steadily erode my increasingly fragile heterosexuality
My wife will love me again if I pull this recipe off. Thanks Chef John you are the best
The last time I made Carrot Cake was in middle school in baking class. Guess it's now time for me to break that dry spell. ;)
This is almost the same recipe my mom makes. It’s from a grocery store Kraft cookbook in the 90’s, Olympian’s favorite recipes. It’s our family favorite ❤️
I’m waiting for the Cayenne !
Andrèr François LeJonèss I was only searching the comment section to find this complain!
Tobias Hoffmann when I make this I’m adding it !!
It's hidden in the candied carrot slices.
😂😂😂😂
Interesting, will have to try that one.
Made it. Just replaced the butter and coconut out with 3/4cup vegetable oil and made it in muffin tins. Yummy yummy 🤤
I’m going to make this recipe simply because of “The Office” reference. I approve lol
I usually watch all other videos on 1.5x speed but food wishes is special.. really special cause the way he speaks 😁😍
Am I the only one who saw an "Olllllll Shaka Shaka" during the "Olllllll Tappa Tappa" ?
Steven Ward thank you for validating that, I was going mental over here.
Just made this last night. Had my first piece this morning. Absolutely delicious. I used fresh carrots from my garden. Thanks.
That looks amazing and delicious carrot cake is one of my favorite cakes
I'm watching Chef John dessert vids and I'm drooling. I have no sweets or anything to cook. So i melted some butter and brown sugar in a bowl, and added a diced apple and some cereal. IT'S GOOD!!
Carrot cake is very popular in my country. Topping it with a chocolate glaze works beautifully well too.
Great video as always!
YES! I love a good carrot cake! This is a dessert we sometimes forget about but it always seems to get a good reaction any time of year, from Thanksgiving to Easter. It goes well with a lot of different menus. Carrot cake is an old-time classic and it's good to see it making a recent comeback! Thumbs up for this video!
One of my all time favorite deserts. This looks amazing
i made this last night! really good...soft with a deep flavour. loved it. i used olive oil instead of butter. the coconut oil gave it a wonderful smell while baking and added to the flavour.
Love all your recipes!! They're so good and easy to follow, and a hit everytime I recreate them .😊👏
I have made this cake several times now and love it! Would love the candied carrot recipe to go with it. I’ve searched on how to make it but I only trust your cooking chef John.
“Just a Touch of Sugar” *pours entire bag* only with our favorite chef, chef John
Finally going to make a summer garden box this year. This recipe has given me the idea to plant some purple dragon carrots cuz Harvest time will be right around my dad's birthday and carrot cake is his favorite.
Come for the recipes.
Stay for the puns.
Hahaha so true🤣
Grate job Chef John! 👏🏻
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!
Odin Thorsen ii
Cardamom in carrot cake sounds heavenly. I'd like to try that. How much do you put in?
@@AliciaNyblade I add by feel, but I guess it would be somewhere between 1-2 teaspoons, enough that you can easily taste it's in there, it's not subtle
@@Odinshi Yum! That sounds delicious!
@@Odinshi So I tried the cardamom in my carrot cake and it was life-changing. You, sir, are a genius. I'm keeping in my recipe from now on along with the ginger and cinnamon I already had in it. Thank you so much. It was a delicious cake!
When I was a teenager in the 1970’s, I worked in a bakery that specialized in cakes. Ate so much carrot cake that I couldn’t eat it until the 1990’s!
See your voice is all rested and better!
Chef John this cake is so good I briefly considered making it for my birthday instead of chocolate! So gooooood!

I made the cake without the frosting. It turned out awesome! Will try with the from next time. Thanks for sharing the recipe
Plan to make this dessert for Easter thanks. Chef john. Love a good recipe
I love how Victoria hobbies does her carrot cake too
Oh, yes! I was thinking that this looks just like my recipe - until you got to the coconut and the pineapple. !!! That sounds soooo good! I have to try this. I would still add in raisins, though. My boys would not be down with no raisins. Carrot cake is an Easter staple at our house, so thanks for the tips, Chef! 😊❤️
what coconut?
@Kay Coconut.... OIL. Did you sleep through that part, Kay? LOL!
Hey R. McBride Im Jay McBride lol
@Jay McBride Hey, Jay! Rose here! ^waves^ 😄
Pineapple, coconut... if sounds like a more mature version of a hummingbird cake.
I chuckled hard at the "grate job". You're the master of puns Chef John.
Chef John, whenever I make one of your recipes my family thinks I'm some kind of culinary savant!
I love this! TH-cam just recommended this video to me after I started my search for a carrot cake recipe and I have to say I love this video! Your humor and charisma and the comment about the bakers 😂
Thank you from all the young aspiring bakers out there.
I seriously didnt even get half way through this video, before I was up, in the kitchen making it?!
And how did it turn out??
You know, I don't even watch the video all the way before I hit the thumbs up. Chef John is just that good!
Making this next weekend!!!! Thank you!!!!!! 🙏🏻
A chuckle and a audible awe every single time I watch you. LOVE Carrot cake.
Thank you so much! My favorite cake!
06:48 I especially love how you got that candied carrot to stand up and salute at the end. You really are an amazing chef. Even the veggies acknowledge your presence. :)
The Dwight Schrute joke just made my day
Food Wish guy, you are the best! I'm not a cake eater, but the carrot cake I can never resist. thank you for simplifying the recipe for me.. I think I'm in for trouble now, boy oh boy.
"We're gonna add a little touch of sugar to this bowl."
*cue avalanche of sugar*
Gonna have to try this recipe, love a good carrot cake!
Many people I know don't like carrot cake. But I love them!
Carrot, Cake. One of these is a staple of my diet. I’ll let you guess which.
The carrots.
24 Karats are a part of my diet
Thank you chef john! I had a hard time finding a good carrot cake recipe and i remember you existed so I just added your name ! You don't need the algorithm to be awesome!
I fuckin love carrot cake, Chef John. My brother.
Thank you Chef John
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.
Pastry chefs are a temperamental group 😂 good to know.
Actually they are generally the nicest of the group, they hardly get any complaints
LOL....terrific line:)
this carrot cake is so good it has actually caused me to like carrot cake. Tried it over the holiday for dad's b-day & Christmas, very tasty.
Near enough a salad for me...
Robin Betts 😳🤦♀️😂
We love you Chef John!
Chef John, new to your channel...is Food Wishes a network that you represent or the name of your personal channel? Just curious! I'm so glad I found you...your recipes are incredible😄💜
Made this for easter, my family loved it! I've baked a few carrot cakes in my day, but this recipe is probably my favorite yet.
If we replaced the carrot with grated pumpkin or squash would it still turn out well? I mean i'm not gonna call it carrot cake anymore but would it be edible?
If you try it, and it turns out good, please let me know
It's really good with squash in my opinion!
it might be good , i love pumpkin 😂 !! maybe need a little more oil for moisture
i think that is called hummingbird cake...
just be careful to not mistake squash with squid and you should be good
Just made. I know it’s gonna be perfect. Thanks, John!
And since they are a temperamental group, we'll let them call it what they want😂😂😂😂
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 🐇🐰🐇😚
A grate job? I see what you did there! 🙂
I made this (minus the nuts) and brought it to my mom's house today. Everyone went crazy for it. I'd never made a carrot cake before, but this recipe couldn't have been simpler and more foolproof. Even the candied carrots were wonderfully easy to make. Absolutely delicious. I think this is going to become my annual contribution to Mom's Easter brunch. Thanks, Chef John! My family did indeed enjoy this! :)
Here's a question....I am just realizing now that carrot cake is really close to the consistency of banana bread, pumpkin bread an zuchini bread...why is carrot cake not carrot bread?
Mike Earls Good question!
I think it comes down to the frosting.
I live and breathe for Chef John doing the ohohohohohol shaka shakas and tapa tapas. Cracks me up every time 😁
맛있겠다 ... ㅎㅎㅎ
No one except folks who speak your language, know what you said!
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.
maybe I use a bigger bowl to mix it all together
This is an amazing recipe. I've always put pineapple in my carrot cake and it's fabulous. Must be crushed, not pieces.
Where's the cayenne
Cyborg Cuttlefish- I’m making this as I write- so glad I saw your post! Cayenne will be awesome!
Cinnamon = Baker's Cayenne.
Love this recipe and have made it a couple times already! Thank you Chef John😊🍰
What's up doc
