Would y'all have used pecans like my grandma or walnuts like me?
Either one works fantastic with this cake.🥕🥕
Either!
I always use pecans, but walnuts are awesome too!
Pecans
None. I'm not a fan of nuts but if I had to pick one it would be pecans
One of the many things I love about Paula is that her recipes are simple. No unnecessary expensive ingredients or restaurant cook and bakeware. She's not pretentious and represents the best of everyday home cooks. Love her!
Paula, we have a tradition of making a cake in the shape of a lamb for Easter because Jesus was the Lamb that was slain for us. I agree about the walnuts and raisins in carrot cake. Happy Easter to you and your family! He is Risen indeed!
We thank her too, Paula! Without her....we would not have you!! Love ya'll! Happy Easter! He is risen! God bless!
Love, your layers were sliding (as well as the icing oozing out between the layers) b/c there wasn't enough XXXX sugar whipped in. Most Cream Cheese frostings use 4 C sugar to 1/2 C butter and ONE pkg cream cheese. Your extra CC block would require at least 3 and even 4 more cups sugar to hold up to the heavier carrot cake layers and 3 layers stacked. My Mom always cut our cakes in slices like that - 7 kids. I never saw wedges of cut cake until I married. And my MIL used to toothpick her cakes too so this gave us a great chuckle!
Hi 👋
Toasted pecans, golden raisins and a small can of drained pineapple tidbits. And !00% agree "Ginny's" love makes all the difference in a little one's life. Their precious laughter is the very sound of Heaven to me. Happy Easter everybody and God bless and keep you.
Hi Joyce
Yesss without the rainsins for me though
This cake is absolutely delicious! I’ve been making it for over 10 yrs now 👍🏽 I just cut the sugar instead of 2 cups I use 1 1/2 cup. Freshly grated carrots make all the difference and canola oil! Absolutely the best carrot cake recipe out there..
I love carrot cake. And I remember you telling us years ago that a cake recipe with plenty of oil makes a moist cake. I sometimes like adding pineapple to this cake too. Yum
Me too!
I use walnuts in mine and a small can of crushed pineapple. Your cake looks so delicious! I love carrot cake. ♥️😊😊
Hi Joann
Hey Joann do you drain the pineapple??
Barbara i do not drain the pineapple.
@@joanntucker2742 thanks!
@@joanntucker2742 doesnt that make things mushy? do you add pineapple in lieu of raisins
'Gammy'...I haven't heard anyone call their grandma that since I left home when I was 16. i'm 61 now...and how that brought back memories.
This was my husband‘s favorite cake I sure do miss making them he’s been gone for 14 years and haven’t made one sense
You should make one in memory. If you're like me and can't eat a whole cake, share. My older neighbors are always grateful for the cake and a visit. Sorry for your loss.💐
I agree with Ginger. Make one in memory and condolences for your loss. Surely a friend or neighbor would be happy to share cake and memories with you.
oh thats terrible. please make the cakes again. so many more people will enjoy the recipe. and you get to share the story with new friends, about being your husbands favorite. i'm sure you must miss the great tasting cake tooo, c'mon lets bake this weekend!
@Honestreviewsonly put a piece of cake in front of a picture? don't even know where to start with this one, uuuhhh
😔😔😔😔this post just broke my heart
Miss Paula,
Thank you for sharing not only the recipe but memories which is the only thing I have left.
My beloved husband passed a year and half ago and not a day goes by that I don't grieve for him...He and my son, my mother and father, my sister...so many loved ones gone...so the holidays are bittersweet but I have beautiful memories.
I was BLESSED and I thank God for what he gave me..
But when you have been blessed like we were, the sorrow goes so deep..
I will make this cake, sit down with a cup of coffee (even my cup of coffee doesn't taste the same without him)
But I will find comfort in my memories...
I love Carrot Cake. I made one last weekend. I made 2 layers that I put in the freezer and made 6 cupcakes. I frosted the cupcakes and they were so good. The frosting is what makes a Carrot Cake so good. I have 2 layers in the freezer that I can use later, just make the frosting. I had never thought about just putting the nuts in the cake instead of the frosting. I had bought some baby carrots to put in a beef roast, and had just enough for my carrot cake. Food is sure too expensive to waste. Thank you Paula, love all your recipes. You are amazing. Years ago, I watched you make your own vanilla flavoring, and I make my own vanilla flavoring out of Grey Goose Vodka and vanilla beans. It is so good. I have not bought vanilla flavoring in years. When I saw how you cut your cake, I got tears in my eyes, My sweet mother used to cut cakes like that too. Brought back so many memories of her, Holidays are still hard without her, but I have my memories to cherish in my heart forever. Paula, you and my mother are the only ladies I have seen that cuts cake like that. You always bring back special memories of my mother.
My aunt always cut her cakes like that she was a chef for many years ♥️

@@denisenilsson1366 Thank You = )
You too! Have a blessed weekend 🙏
This reminds me of the first time I made a carrot cake using my great grandmother's recipe. I had to keep changing bowls because there were so many ingredients. I think the recipe called for 5 cups of carrots. 😯
I finally got the cake mixed up and then went on a hunt for baking pans. I finally ended up with 5 pans of different shapes and sizes.
I baked a lot growing up but had never encountered a recipe like this one. My great grandmother lived back in the day when they worked a farm and there were a lot of people working long hard days and they were fed well at the end of the day. This carrot cake was probably designed to feed a hungry crowd.
I really don't remember how I finally got rid of the huge cake. I'm sure I shared it with a lot of people. 😉
Thanks for this trip down memory lane! ☺️
I don't make carrot cake much anymore. Sometimes I'll buy a single piece at the grocery store. 😋
Thanks for sharing another great video! 🥰
Hi Vickie

Miss Paula, this Carrot Cake recipe of your Grandmother’s is the very best. I’ve made it for years and everyone who has some says the very same thing! Best frosting too! Thank you so very much for sharing.🧡🥕
Same here!!! It’s so easy and delicious
Delicious Thank you for sharing Paula have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏
Oh my goodness Paula that looks heavenly! My gramma would sometimes add mini chocolate chips to her carrot cake for a little extra goodness. I know it sounds a lil off-putting but it was sooo delicious. Thank you for sharing your grandmother's recipe with us. Happy Easter to you and your family! 🐇🐥🥕🍰💜
Hi Lauren
I would use pecans because that is my mom's version of a classic carrot cake. One of my absolute favorites!!! Thank you Mrs.Paula!!!
Hi Kimberly
Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Beautiful job Paula, you are a true artist, so talented and gifted. Thanks for sharing your talent. Hope you have a Happy Easter.
Paula,
I make a Carrot Cake too. I leave out the raisins though, and also add Pecans to mine.
I bake one and bring to Country singer Crystal Gayle every time I see her. She adores my Carrot cake and I'm so blessed. I've made it for my church staff and many friends and family throughout the years. Carrot cake is my FAVORITE to make. Simple easy and soo sooooo good....!
This is my go to carrot cake.
Absolutely

Boy-O-Boy does that look delicious ya'll. We simply love you Paula with those sticky fingers and all 🤣💐🙏
Hi Paula. Love carrot cake and I with you on the frosting more is better.
Paula my friend who reminds me of you..she makes carrot cake with carrot juice.ive never seen a receipe calling for carrot juice.but the cake is very good and moist.
Your receipe sounds really good..I will make this for Easter.
Hi Margie
Hi,❤❤❤❤❤love it ❤🎉😮❤ yes yummy I will try shall with you cooking videos ❤ thank you for recipes ❤ bless amen 🙏 ❤
Beautiful cake! The recipe I use calls for a small can of crushed pineapple. ❤️
That sounds good
Yes, crushed 🍍will keep it moist. I love 🍍and lots of raisins too. Maybe golden raisins in carrot cake. And lots of nuts, inside and out!
@@stacey5925 golden raisins sound good for this. How are you today Stacey? I would use light olive oil or avacado oil instead of vegtable oil though.
@@charitys.3862 I'm doing well. Lost another 6#--- just in time to put it back on over the weekend! 🤭. Harvesting some escarole and endive from my garden for a nice fresh mixed greens salad for dinner! Think I'm going to make some white chocolate macadamia nut cookies today. They were my hubby's favorite 😥. Can't help think of him whenever I make these. He liked 🥕 cake too. Paula's cake looked beautiful, except for those toothpicks!!!! How are you doing?
@@stacey5925 Carrot Cake was my husband's favorite. I would prefer the nuts to be crushed and sprinkled on top of the icing. I like the raisins and as much as I do like nuts, pecans or walnuts I don't like big pieces in the cake. I wouldn't turn down a slice because of it but if I were making it crushed on the top or at least smaller pieces inside the cake would be my preference. I love anything with macadamia nuts in it. I would have to post I gained 6#.😁 Congrats!
Paula, you've got me craving walnuts! It makes the cake topping so pretty too.
Paula! So similar to my Grandma Haney’s recipe. I think hers had pineapple instead of raisins. I prefer walnuts over pecans. I love carrot cake!! Thank you for sharing!!
Paula Dean, You are a true Southern Lady and an awesome cook. I love you and your recipes. Thank you for sharing your videos. I always look forward to them. God Bless You & Your Family.
Love this cake Ms Paula Deen going to do this for Easter. Happy Easter to you and your family.

Oh my I love that cake stand!
carrot cake is my very favorite cake and I have a grandchild that loves it too! Thank You Paula for this recipe.
Hi Theresa
This is exactly what I was looking for. Old fashioned classic carrot cake. Too many modern recipes over-complicate the cake and it comes out too sticky sweet. This looks perfect!
Those purple hydrangeas are just gorgeous! Well done, Eddie! I’m off to make Grandma Hiers’ Carrot Cake…my favorite!
Paula you are such a dream love watching and learning from you. Thank you for sharing with us. You’re family is lucky and blessed to be related to you. May God Bless you!

Walnuts all the way for this girl! Cake looks fab. Love cream cheese frosting. Thanks and Happy Easter to all.
Great video Paula. I love Carrot Cake. I don’t put nuts in my carrot cake. I don’t put raisins in my cake either. I like my carrot cake on the basic side. Love your videos.
