Non purist convert here. This cake was easy to make. Cooked perfectly. Came out of pans perfectly. I am NOT at all confident in my baking skills and this cake has been a huge boost today. I doubled the icing recipe because honestly the only reason I made this cake was for the icing! Thank you for sharing all your recipes and for your humor. You are delightful to watch and listen to.

Hi Jessie! Oh I’m so thrilled to hear this! Doubling the icing is genius. In fact, I think I’ll add that to the recipe. 🙌🏼 That cake is so special to me … it carries memories of birthdays and celebrations with my family. I hope you make some memories with the cake too. Thanks for watching and for circling back to leave a note 🥰 Your feedback is so helpful for me and other viewers, thank you ❤️, Marie

Marie, this is exactly the carrot cake recipe that my mother served my, at that time future husband, around 64 years ago. My husband now of over 60 years has this cake for every birthday, and my 2 sons always have it too. There are no raisins, nuts, or pineapple in mine either. This is the original carrot cake recipe. Marie, I have missed your videos so much. Even with all my years of cooking, you have taught me so much. I hope that you tell me that you will be back soon. Betty Phillips in Alabama.

Hello Betty! Thanks so much for the note! I can’t believe you and your mom made the same recipe! It is the absolute BEST. 🤩 Wow - congratulations on over 60 years of marriage! You don’t hear about that often these days! I hear about 50 years occasionally, but never 60! ❤️ I’m so happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed my videos and have also learned a lot! That is always my goal 👍🏻 I had to take a break from filming the summer but I’m hoping to get back to it soon … if i can keep increasing subscribers and get more loyal viewers like you, it definitely helps offset the cost! So THANK YOU for watching and for taking time to leave such a sweet note. Next video is for you Betty! 🥰 Bug hugs, Marie

I made this exact cake for Easter this past weekend, but did not discover your video until today. The recipe was published over 65 years ago in the Boston Globe newspaper and my mother had cut it out and saved it. She passed away 23 years ago but always when she made carrot cake, this was her go to. I do ad toasted chopped walnuts or pecan (depending on what I have on hand) to mine, but coconut, pineapple and raisins don’t belong in a carrot cake, then it would be a “fruit” cake.

I’m in Oklahoma & I calling it icing!!

I'm so glad youtube put your pie crust video in my feed. Once I watched it I saw carrot cake, two of my favorite things that I'd rather make at home rather than buy. I call it cream cheese frosting but I don't have too many strong opinions on that subject so icing it is for you! I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

From a "non-purist", I am going to try your recipe! The only carrot cake I have ever made has coconut, golden raisins and nuts in it. I am intrigued by your recipe though and will certainly give it a go!

I just recently found you so I’m going through some of your older videos to catch up and I love the way you cook and explain things. That said, I also looked at some of the comments when you asked if it was frosting or icing cause I wanted to know what people said, and I’m shocked at the nasty comments I saw! I wish people would just watch a video and if they didn’t like it, then move on and keep their negativity to themselves. There’s so much hate in this world and it saddens me. You keep doing it your way and don’t pay attention to those idiots who have nothing better to do. I have subscribed to your channel and I’m pretty sure I will be happy I did!

Marie, thank you, thank you. 🤗This cake looks soooo delicious. I haven't pinpointed why I love carrot cake so much, but I think it's because of the nutmeg. I agree with you on being a purist not adding raisins or anything else. What makes this recipe even more perfect and timely is that I bought a 5 lb. bag of carrots yesterday!!!! Also, I make a lot of breads and so many recipes are from other countries. Converting ingredients with on line conversion tables is just not accurate. I bought a kitchen scale years ago and use it every time I bake. It's a wonderful kitchen tool. No more guessing. I thank you for making this wonderful video and I cannot wait to start shredding! 🤗💖I'll let you know how it turns out. I promise.

I love your comment about reasons, if you’d like reasons, we can’t be friends. My husband loves reasons, he even goes out of his way to buy a box of sun maid raisins, so he can eat them. I, on the other hand hate reasons. Raisins or nuts do not belong in carrot cake. I guess I’m a purist, but I have made carrot cake with coconut and pineapple in it, although I didn’t like it. So I can’t wait to make this plain carrot cake.

I am making this cake for my sons’s birthday today. I just took them out of the oven and they smell so good! They are cooling right now before I put the icing on. I had to think about that for a moment, Is it icing or frosting? Like the old saying goes, “Icing on the cake”. It refers to something positive that enhances a situation that’s already good. Thank You Marie for sharing! I enjoy watching and learning new things.

To me icing is not fluffy at all and will stiffen as it sits. Frosting is airy, fluffy and soft.

PLEASE POST THE INGREDIENTS

There are many ingredients that people like in their recipes. It's a curosity why you carry on so strongly about what you don't like (??) Okay, I'll remember not to include raisens when I make you something... which will likely never happen. Why waste time telling us what you and your daughter don't like?? It alienates you from so many of us who love our cakes loaded with raisens, pineapple, shredded coconut, the whole shebang. There's plenty going on right now that alienates and divides human kind. Lets not belabor something so trivial as raisens. They're such a tasty little treat. 😂
