I've made this cake 4 times now since buying the book in October. It's literally the best cake I've ever eaten. I've never been a big frosting person but the browned butter frosting is AMAZING. could eat a tub of it by itself. BEST CAKE EVER
@@ruvin7023 this is the cake for you then! Just the right sweetness level, I made it for a friend recently and she would typically eat a couple pieces with her morning coffee and said the pairing was perfect!
I kinda miss Gourmet Makes, tho. I'd love to see her do it again. Maybe on her own channel, she can take her time and be less stressed, while still making more-delicious homemade snack foods.
Same. One of the reasons I started to dislike gourmet makes is because she didnt look happy doing it/was super stressed especially as time went by and essentially would skip episodes every now and then but these videos I love! Shouldve made her own channel long ago!
GM started good but in the end they purposely made Claire suffer for entertainment. Just look at how Dan (Director/producer) started to treat her, like throwing ingredients at Claire (wtf).
My husband was in the other room while I was watching. I didn’t know he was listening, but he told me, “Claire really does have such calming energy. I can see why you like her” ☺️
Haha, I always love seeing Claire passionately make food she loves. Her naturally endearing personality just brightens every video and makes them just *that* much more perfect.
OMG JELL-O SALAD! More than half the people I've told about Jell-o salad in NY and NJ have no idea what I'm talking about, and give me strange looks when I explain it. Learned a couple years ago it's because I'm from/my relatives were from *The Jell-o Belt* of the upper southwest. Guess it's mostly an old folks thing elsewhere in the US?
@@trenawarner4566 Oh yes, those Raisin Bran commercials where you get "two scoops" (scoops?) of "plump, juicy raisins". Neither one of those terms makes any sense in any known universe. Oh, we loves our wrinkled, dessicated, chewy dried fruit with some bits of sand in it!
In the US the term raisin is a catch-all. Everywhere else we have sultanas, currants, raisins etc, and all refer to sun-dried grapes of differing sizes
I think anything Claire makes would be outstanding because she simply wouldn’t have it any other way. I think she will fast approach the “Martha” status. I’m glad she can now control her own destiny. BA was her Segway to her own brand. And we were here to see it happen. Claire, you are loved by so many. All the best and enjoy sharing your passion and gift to the world. Much Aloha from Hawaii🌴🌸😎🌺
Claire, my daughter surprised my wife with your cookbook for Christmas, and together they started with the carrot cake! They had a great mother-daughter experience, and the result was magnificent! Thanks!
Claire!!! This recipe is incredible. I’ve been craving carrot cake and as a fan of yours, I’ve had this recipe stored. Well, I finally had a reason to bake a cake and I walked away feeling so good as everyone raved about the best carrot cake they had ever had. This coming from generations older than me and people who didn’t think they liked carrot cake. Biggest compliments were about the moistness of the cake and flavor of the frosting.
When the pecans went back into the oven remembering Claire saying she always burns nuts, my brain could not stop saying “Claire remember the pecans, THE PECANS CLAIRE”
Like a fridge tour? We NEEEEEED a fridge tour. Especially seeing Claire's reactions of shock, concern, trepidation as she opens the fridge! I would also love a whole kitchen tour if I am being honest.
Just used this recipe with cupcakes, I baked them for 35 minutes, used a cream cheese glaze. It’s so good , the texture was perfect ( and used a hand mixer ). Definitely worth the effort !
Classic Cream Cheese Frosting 2 sticks unsalted butter (8 oz / 227g), at room temperature 1 pound (454g) full-fat cream cheese, preferably Philadelphia, at room temperature Generous pinch of kosher salt 1 pound (454g) powdered sugar (about 3½ cups), sifted if very lumpy Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
I made this cake for my mom’s 70th birthday this past weekend and it was SO DELICIOUS! She had requested a carrot cake and this one seemed like a good choice. Regarding the brown butter, I actually put it in the fridge to solidify and then let it come to room temperature again before making the frosting: it worked perfectly without having to risk the frosting being too runny. Anyway, a really good recipe and it tasted amazing! My mom loved it!
IIRC she lives within a few blocks of Central Park. It came out in a BA video. Rents there are $$$. She could be in the 5 boroughs and have more space for the money.
@@MrCeltic85 thank you. It doesn't matter if she's from a wealthy family or not. She deserves to blow up and own a beautiful big kitchen she can bake and cook her favourite foods in. ❤️
how lovely to see you again. I love the way you "teach" (that's a compliment) personal, careful, informative and extremely caring about, I think, the viewer's success both here and in your book. Since watching you do the recipes here, I feel even more your presence in the kitchen when I bake from your book. Thank you.
I try not to get intimidated when Claire says a recipe "isn't THAT complicated" because it's generally true and always worth the effort, like with the oat pecan brittle cookies. This recipe is a favourite in our household. Great video, Claire!
I made this cake on Christmas Eve and it is LITERALLY the best carrot cake I’ve ever had. 😍 So moist and tender, my family loved the flavor of ginger throughout the cake. This will be a staple on our family! 🙌🏼💕
My 3yo daughter loves watching Claire's videos. Her all time favorite is the croquembouche video for Munchies. This is her new favorite. Whether she is sitting in her play food truck or in the bath with her cooking utensils, she is always trying to bake something saying she is baking like Claire. "What are you making Vivian?" "I'm making a croquembouche like Claire"
as someone who's allergic to coconut, i so appreciate finally seeing a carrot cake recipe without coconut in it. i'm definitely gonna ring in the new year with this cake!
OH! I am a lifelong Clevelander, and my mom had both those books! Such memories. They were sold to support the Cleveland Orchestra. Mmmm, “Snowy Night’s Soup” was a family favorite. 😋 💕
I'm so glad that her and Vinny are working together. You can tell the quality of Vinny's content. It's *chef kiss*. BA who? I think they all are living their best lives after BA.
This is literally the best cake I have EVER made. It was so moist and not overly sweet! I made it for some friends and they couldn’t stop complimenting me on how good it was! Definitely going to go buy the book now!! Thanks Claire ☺️☺️
23:38 Esoteric note here: Claire baking this Carrot Cake for a one-year-old’s birthday party (who ends up not liking it) reminds me of that one episode of Gilmore Girls where Sookie bakes for a kid’s birthday party a Chocolate Cake . . .w/ a rum-raisin, tropical-fruit ganache. 😂
So glad Claire has her own channel now. Don't know what happened to the BA channel but Claire was really the only reason I watched it. Auto subscribed.
I made it for Christmas. It turned out to be a masterpiece. The frosting is amazing. I bought three new 8 inch cake pans just to make this recipe. Thank you so much.
@@ReclinedPhysicist I feel like without the test kitchen it’s not gonna be successful. Also I think she should just move on from BA but I miss the videos sometimes
I got Dessert Person for Christmas (along with a bunch of other cooking paraphernalia that I desperately needed, including a LOVELY cookbook stand specifically sized to hold this book) and I CANNOT express how much I am looking forward to making this.
@@goatlovesllama I think she said in her previous videos how she’d love to have more animals, so maybe after she gets her komondor she’ll get a goat too 👀
Claire, you should try the carrot cake receipt most common in Brazil, the way we make it the cake actually comes out orange! And we usually make a chocolate cover for it, it is AMAZING!!
I bought "Dessert Person" for myself for Christmas. Then I bought two more for the dessert people in my life. This book is beautiful, well-researched, easy to follow, and encourages the reader to experiment. I highly recommend "Dessert Person" to anyone who is a cook book junkie such as myself. THANKS, CLAIRE!!
This carrot cake filled my house with the most incredible smells possible. I knew it was going to be good, but holy moly, what surprised me the most is the incredible moist, fluffy, delicious cake layers. Like, how?? It was SO GOOD. The least dry cake I've ever had. Oh God, everyone ate it right up. The brown butter cream cheese frosting was so good with it, even though I usually hate butter cream. Thank you claire. You're a magician and bring the magic in my house!
I LOVE that she specifies how much batter should go in each pan. I hate when recipes just say “divide evenly into three pans” and I have to do the math myself which never goes well 😅
Everytime i see someone, in special a US person, doing carrot cake, i cant help myself but ask for them to try and do the brazilian version of carrot cake just for the funzies of doing something completely different for them but absolutely traditional for the brazilians.
@@Emily-pg5oe first, we shred and beat the carrot into a liquid with the blender, then we add a neutral oil, all purpose flour, baking powder, sugar and eggs, mix everything together and bake it. Then the thing most people love: we make a chocolate ganache to top it. The cake is really smooth, soft and aired and the chocolate ganache is silky and it bleeds into the hot cake. This recipe is so traditional that almost every brazilian knows it by heart. If you wanna try it for yourself, im pretty sure there is a lot of blogs that have translated it for you, and even some videos on youtube that i have seen trying it and giving the recipe too. I reccomend you try it, but im suspicious to say it lol
I made it for my sister's birthday andddd everyone loved it! Put the carrots with the buttermilk on the fridge it's an amazing tip, it was very tender and the taste it's SOOOO good! Best recipe ever, thanks a lot
I love the way you said "or a butter knife" like you were almost lowering your voice a bit and trying to hide it from the "real chefs" out there as though it's actually a sin to use a butter knife for frosting, lol.
I love that she made fun of herself last video for saying "one of my favorite" and went ahead and said it in this one. Love you, Claire, you're the best.
Claire this cake was just phenomenal. So well balanced and may I say light even though it was so moist. This was not overly sweet and totally impressed friends at a dinner party. Your book...your videos....I love them all. THANK YOU!
Claire is such an amazing person. So glad to see her with her own show on the internets. Missed her so much. Every video of her just brightens my days. We need that fridge tour Vinny please.
I love watching these videos then playing them while I study. Claire just has that relaxing voice you can’t find anywhere else. I def wanna make here confetti cake and carrot cake🤤🤤🤤
I loooooove and so missed Claires "sour lemon face" when she finishes a sentence ir pauses. It's so endearing. Especially cause I hum a little tune un intentionally every time I'm speaking if nervous.
One of the most important lessons my mom ever taught me was "[Carrots] are a dollar a pound, just get another one so you don't have to go down to the nub!" Unfortunately it was after I scraped my knuckle.
I've never been into carrot cake but I made this and it is truly amazing. It is worth all the effort. Honestly probably the best cake I've ever had. Making this for Thanksgiving, thank you Claire! ♥
Just wanted to say that I made this for a party yesterday and was told by several folks it's the best carrot cake they've ever had. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
You an tell Claire is doing what she truly enjoys explaining her recipes and how she makes them. Its nice to see someone doing what they're passionate about.
I got my mom into Gourmet Makes and we're both really big fans, so she got me Dessert Person for Christmas. It is beautiful. The photography is fantastic and I love the typeface used. Can't wait to make so many of these recipes.
Tried this recipe for the first time and it’s truly amazing! Didn’t use the brown butter frosting cause I had some leftover cream cheese frosting but can I say THIS CAKE IS UNBELIEVABLY MOIST AND DELICIOUS! Thank you, Claire!
Just made this and Oh. My. God. This is the BEST carrot cake I've ever had. The pecans in the cake add an amazing flavor, and the brown butter in the frosting? I can never go back.
Well, I've been gifted Dessert Person for Christmas but also for babysitting the cat of one of my best friends during the holidays. That fact just sounds perfect and whole to me.
My granddaughter has been married a couple of years. Every time she asks her mother-in-law what present she wants for any occasion, she replies, a homemade carrot cake. Well, she made this one for Mother’s Day. Her mother-in-law ate two pieces, and said it was better than her mother’s carrot cake. She just went on and on. My granddaughter is so proud of herself. She was very afraid to try. Thank you so much!
Happy New Year!! What are you baking for the last day of 2020?
i'm doing a zoom with a bunch of friends and we're all going to bake, i'm making homemade bounty bars! (coconut and dark chocolate :)
Hopefully something from your book ❤️😊
Just finished the Earl Grey and Apricot Hamantaschen and there are some things I’d do better on next time but they are SO good, thank you Claire!
No joke, we’re baking a carrot and pecan cake. This video was a sign!!!
Chocolate and banana brownies 😋

It's wonderful to see Claire not having a purposely induced meltdown and just doing her own thing.
It’s really relaxing !!
Right? I never really understood the appeal of seeing Claire super stressed out every episode
I kinda miss Gourmet Makes, tho. I'd love to see her do it again. Maybe on her own channel, she can take her time and be less stressed, while still making more-delicious homemade snack foods.

Words can't describe how happy I am that she started her own channel
Your dog profile pic is so cute
Clair every time she opens the fridge: "Oh no"
Fridge tour please.
Yesss
I'm happy to see the Sriracha in her fridge. It's become a common condiment.
Her skin isn't wrinkly im insulted for her lol. She looks her age her hair just went gray early.
didn't she kinda do one in one of the videos she did while she still worked for BA? idk I just remember her touring her fridge at one point
@@gingertroy6329 I honestly love her grey hair! It looks good on her!
One thing I appreciate about Claire is that she has the energy and vibe of a yoga instructor, but for baking.
Your yoga instructor has chaos meltdowns of unsatisfied perfectionism? 😁 jk, she is wonderful, I totally get what you mean 🌸
We need a fridge tour. We NEED it, Vinny
Yes, please !!
Yeah! It's past the point of wether we'd like a fridge tour, it has become a necessity now
And a homemade vanilla extract walkthrough!
@@erical2162 Put vanilla beans in jar. Top with vodka. Give it a shake every 1-2 days until it's brown. Ta da.
Yes!! FRIDGE TOUR!!!!!!!
My husband was in the other room while I was watching. I didn’t know he was listening, but he told me, “Claire really does have such calming energy. I can see why you like her” ☺️
I love how the video is sectioned out for each step in the process so that people can rewatch specific parts if they're making the cake.
And a special step for Felix’s cameo
I want bloopers where the crew eats what she makes and obviously give her praise
I feel like Claire's apartment is always insanely hot because her oven is perpetually pre-heating to 350
yess
😂
😂
She certainly has air conditioning as everyone in the United States of means has had since post World War II.
Why isn't anybody talking about animated claire she's so cute
Any version of Claire is cute

Oatmeal cookies and now carrot cake? Claire is speaking to my old-people-dessert loving soul ♥️ Is bread pudding next? Jello salad? Divinity? 😂 🥰

The fact that she hates raisins in her baked goods let’s me know that she’s the TV chef for me 🙌🏾
Raisins always seem to have sand in them.
Hate the juicy plumpness of a baked raisin! 🤮
@@trenawarner4566 Oh yes, those Raisin Bran commercials where you get "two scoops" (scoops?) of "plump, juicy raisins". Neither one of those terms makes any sense in any known universe. Oh, we loves our wrinkled, dessicated, chewy dried fruit with some bits of sand in it!
@@ferociousgumby the sand in the dried fruits are probably seeds. who would dry fruit in sand?
@@ferociousgumby Sand. LoL It's natural sugar crystals and a good way to tell those raisins are getting a bit old.
Everyone: Raisin.
Claire: Sun-dried grape.
Grappe des rasins.
In the US the term raisin is a catch-all. Everywhere else we have sultanas, currants, raisins etc, and all refer to sun-dried grapes of differing sizes
sun-dried grape sounds more exotic :D
Where are the raisins!!
@@sandysmith7441 I'm from the UK and I didn’t even know that was the difference.
I think anything Claire makes would be outstanding because she simply wouldn’t have it any other way. I think she will fast approach the “Martha” status. I’m glad she can now control her own destiny.

If you wanna try it for yourself, im pretty sure there is a lot of blogs that have translated it for you, and even some videos on youtube that i have seen trying it and giving the recipe too. I reccomend you try it, but im suspicious to say it lol
I made it for my sister's birthday andddd everyone loved it! Put the carrots with the buttermilk on the fridge it's an amazing tip, it was very tender and the taste it's SOOOO good! Best recipe ever, thanks a lot
I love the way you said "or a butter knife" like you were almost lowering your voice a bit and trying to hide it from the "real chefs" out there as though it's actually a sin to use a butter knife for frosting, lol.
I love that she made fun of herself last video for saying "one of my favorite" and went ahead and said it in this one. Love you, Claire, you're the best.
Yeah, I'm gonna need a fridge tour pls.
A “what’s in my fridge” video is everything we need to start 2021 strong!
Claire this cake was just phenomenal. So well balanced and may I say light even though it was so moist. This was not overly sweet and totally impressed friends at a dinner party. Your book...your videos....I love them all. THANK YOU!
Claire is such an amazing person. So glad to see her with her own show on the internets. Missed her so much.
Every video of her just brightens my days.
We need that fridge tour Vinny please.
why have i never thought to grate as many carrots as i can hold in my hand. this is genius
Claire returning to TH-cam single-handedly saved 2020
2021 will be good as long as Claire stays on TH-cam
calm down..
I want my epitaph to be: "It is unbelievably easy to burn nuts."
Oh no
She burnt her pecans. Interestingly enough though, it might have worked just fine in that carrot cake with that rich frosting
I love watching these videos then playing them while I study. Claire just has that relaxing voice you can’t find anywhere else. I def wanna make here confetti cake and carrot cake🤤🤤🤤
Omg finally someone who puts g measurements in the description!!
I can’t find how much butter she used for the frosting though.... I’m going to try 2 sticks
I loooooove and so missed Claires "sour lemon face" when she finishes a sentence ir pauses. It's so endearing. Especially cause I hum a little tune un intentionally every time I'm speaking if nervous.
Sour lemon face?
@@mazin9814 she purses her lips after sentences sometimes and it reminds me of tasting something sour. :) not a dig on her. I loooooooove Claire!
more than a fridge tour I think we need a "containers filled with homemade stuff" tour!
thank you Claire for this amazing recipe.
“Don’t be a hero when you get down to the nub...”
Too late Claire😫😂. Now I know.
One of the most important lessons my mom ever taught me was "[Carrots] are a dollar a pound, just get another one so you don't have to go down to the nub!"
Unfortunately it was after I scraped my knuckle.
Made this cake yesterday!!!! The brown butter cream cheese is LIFE CHANGING!!! The flavors go so well!! Thank you Claire!!
I've never been into carrot cake but I made this and it is truly amazing. It is worth all the effort. Honestly probably the best cake I've ever had. Making this for Thanksgiving, thank you Claire! ♥
Claire: Lives in an apartment
Also Claire: "I'll feed it to my... goat..."
I am here for Claire! I highly dislike carrots, but i's Claire and hopefully Felix!
Edit: Felix appearance! Video complete!
Félix 😻
Claire opens the video with my EXACT feelings about carrot cake! Cream cheese frosting is the best.
Just wanted to say that I made this for a party yesterday and was told by several folks it's the best carrot cake they've ever had. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
You an tell Claire is doing what she truly enjoys explaining her recipes and how she makes them. Its nice to see someone doing what they're passionate about.
It's almost new year here and it's the best 2021 gift I could've been given.
I got my mom into Gourmet Makes and we're both really big fans, so she got me Dessert Person for Christmas. It is beautiful. The photography is fantastic and I love the typeface used. Can't wait to make so many of these recipes.
I already made 3 recipes from it and they all tasted more delicious than I ever expected. She really put a lot of work into it
Claire: "it will hold a soft peak like so"
Frosting: *plop*
Tried this recipe for the first time and it’s truly amazing! Didn’t use the brown butter frosting cause I had some leftover cream cheese frosting but can I say THIS CAKE IS UNBELIEVABLY MOIST AND DELICIOUS! Thank you, Claire!
Just made this and Oh. My. God. This is the BEST carrot cake I've ever had. The pecans in the cake add an amazing flavor, and the brown butter in the frosting? I can never go back.
Ahh, watching Claire is the best way to start the new year
Well, I've been gifted Dessert Person for Christmas but also for babysitting the cat of one of my best friends during the holidays. That fact just sounds perfect and whole to me.
I love watching Claire making things she enjoys making and eating. Gourmet makes is fun but this is nice and the cartoon intro was really cute.
Made this last night. 10/10 best carrot cake I've ever had. Thanks Claire.
My granddaughter has been married a couple of years. Every time she asks her mother-in-law what present she wants for any occasion, she replies, a homemade carrot cake. Well, she made this one for Mother’s Day. Her mother-in-law ate two pieces, and said it was better than her mother’s carrot cake. She just went on and on. My granddaughter is so proud of herself. She was very afraid to try. Thank you so much!
