Carrot cake just isn’t the same without a few shavings of your grated skin baked in.

Disgusting 🤮

Home Movies editors and cinematographers, you guys did our Queen Alison Roman so much justice!! OMG!!! Thank you! Thank you too to the producers and all the team for listening to the comments from us who couldn't really focus on the previous videos with the style used before, and making the changes. This was so fun and easy to watch and follow. Thank you for another great recipe video Alison and for not taking the comments personally. Sorry if I was anal about the editing and shooting style before but this was truly such a joy to watch today! ♥I happen to have a ton of carrots to use up in the fridge too so...this is what I'll be doing haha.

Agreed! I got to the last bit of tasting home video footage and celebrated that I no longer felt motion sickness from watching the video! Big thank you for listening to the feedback team AR!

Who grates like that?!

This for me is the kind of cake that I eat with my hands standing over the sink

OK...I love you lol.

Happy to see old energy and humor back

This feels like the perfect meld of the Home Movies some of us were missing and the bougie smooth-jazz "new" Home Movies. Great video, great recipe, I'm so happy today!

Watching this on my solo holiday in a small beach town as I sip my cappuccino. ☕️ Close to a perfect moment imo.

I am literally waiting for a delayed flight in Marseille. I love this!

No one in these comments is asking the hard questions: what happened to David?! We miss him and I’ll be so sad if he doesn’t have a birthday episode this year.

While I miss the banter from the past, people move on! I’m sure he wanted to do something different. Let’s let things ‘evolve’.

Great job! You dialled it back a notch and it really paid off. Feels more relaxed and homely. Really really enjoyed this. Thanks to all involved!

A heartfelt thanks for giving us measurements in grams - Love from Australia (where our 1 cup volume is 250ml vs 237ml in USA)

Seriously the best carrot cake ever!!!!! It was everything I hoped for and MORE. Made one last weekend and my husband wants another for Father's Day ( dinner will be your eggplant parm) Thank you Alison for the best recipes and the joy I feel from watching your Home Movies

Crazy timing… making this tomorrow for my wife’s birthday! Carrot cake is her absolute favorite!

I made this for a cookout and it was a huge hit! Honestly one of the best things I've baked in a long time!

this is the recipe i most wanted to see a video for yes thank you sm

I have every ingredient to make this today- except for the carrots!! Going shopping tomorrow, will pick some up and make it. My fave cake is carrot cake so thank you for the recipe.

Loved this!! Classic home movie vibes and I’m totally here for it. Love you Alison!

Everyone is making carrot cake this month and I LOVE the abundance of recipes. 🐰

Love this! It’s one of my faves. And yes, it’s better cold. ❤. Thank you.

The analog b roll behind the scenes and overall warm cozy vibes remind me SO much of the old Nigella Bites eps

I was just thinking this!

I also made this for my friends birthday and everyone RAVED about it. Killed it once again.

I always thought I wouldn't like carrot cake, but this home movie makes me think I might!

I just took this cake out of the oven! I had all the ingredients at home :-)) It’s cooling now, going to whip up the cream cheese frosting next. Can’t wait to try it!! I abhor raisins, so this cake spoke to me!

A live cooking show sounds so fun!!

Aside from hurting when you hurt yourself on that vicious box grater this was a great HM episode. Love the pistachios

You can use spray oil to lube the knife for the dates, no cuts ventured, much gained

I never thought to add dates, now that I have seen you do it, it just makes sense.

Think I will make this for my husband's 40th birthday in a few weeks, he loves carrot cake!

I never really comment but wanted to say that: 1. I don't like (and have never liked) carrot cake but I really felt an urge to make this carrot cake and I like it. A lot. 2. A cake that tastes better eaten cold from the fridge is a thing of joy to me. 3. I very successfully halved this recipe to make a slightly smaller cake, using 2 medium eggs instead of 3 large, and adding another 10g of flour. 4. Thank you.

wow....parchment paper trick will change my life....am I the only one who didn't know about this?

This one feels like the old Home Movies. ❤

I’m gonna try this. I baked the old fashioned strawberry cake and it was bomb. Love you

My favorite cake just got better! Walnuts on the top for me. Kudos on this video, more relaxed and similar to your previous energy that I was kinda missing...

Lovely vid. Can't wait to make this. CAKE FOR BREKKKIIIIE! Thank you Alison and team. Change is hard. You're smashing it x

Oh good! This is fun again. Thanks everyone. And I love carrot cake.

So I thought that cold cake would be dry and cold frosting would set hard. Not here. Because there's so much carrot, the cake stays moist, almost mousse-like, the frosting buttery and smooth. It's heaven. And for people like me, who like to eat cake right through summer, this is now a go-to.

As someone that once consumed carrot cake cold while hungover, can confirm it is indeed better colder.

I love your energy!!!!! ❤

Alison, we missed the yellow bowl thank you so much for bringing her back!💛💛💛

this new branding, look and feel is absolutely beautiful! wow!!

When she said bigger bowl, I immediately thought of the big yellow bowl! 😂

Why have I never thought of adding dates to carrot cake? Thanks, Alison! Recipe sounds great. Definitely trying.

I am a believer in cold cake in general, cannot wait to make this for my dad

I saw this video and immediately bought some carrots (and dates) and made the cake this afternoon, a quarter of it is now gone 10/10!

So genuinely happy so see the yellow bowl.🙂😀

I made this cake as a gift to my wife for our 34th anniversary. It turned out great, and we shared it with friends.

There she is! FIERY CARROT QUEEN

"A raisin is a bad surprise" Roman for President!

We had carrot “cookie cake” (dense and delicious) at our wedding 10 years ago and I still dream about it! The baker then moved from Brooklyn to Florida. I definitely need to make yours. Love you, Alison!

the yellow bowl bit had me howling. I didn't even know I missed ol yellow bowl

Looks so great--love CC! Going to try this plant-based as I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the estrogen and BLV in dairy and the lead and choline in eggs. Thanks so much for sharing

Yes! I love the peeled carrots part lol! I don't peel carrots, they barely have a peel!

lovely to see you and the new production team find a groove--it's still giving early seasons Nigella (which is great!) but also you seem more like yourself. I do really like carrot cake but for me it has to include walnuts! I can't help it. But excited to swap out the raisins tbh.

In defense of raisins - one of my favorite quick pasta sauces is tomatoes, garlic, capers, and raisins

Funnily enough I like raisins in savoury applications (good balance to salty and acidic ingredients) and absolutely despise them in cakes (where I find them weird, unwelcome and oddly bitter).

After grating my knuckles off for years, I started using a cut glove if I have to use a grater. For grating large volumes, I use my food processor.

LOVE carrot cake

Thanks for showing your cute crew, guys eating cake, yum 👍

I love you. This is a timely recipe for me! So many carrots in the fridge. I'm so glad you got a husband and a store. You deserve every happiness

I made it this weekend with the cardamom and ginger. At first I was thinking, this is an insane amount of carrots, but it was truly delicious. The dates were a revelation. It's the perfect snacking cake. Thank you!

Haha I warned you that you’d think “way too many carrots” haha

I love me some walnuts in a carrot cake but I shall try and refrain using them while making this recipe because it looks so delishhh

Hahahaha!!! “Fluffyboy69 is going to say the paper towels are in the wrong spot” 😂 you tell em Alison! That was awesome

This is what the Cuisinart food processor is for, my friend! No need to bleed!

We made this cake last night and it was delicious! My favorite part were the dates

Not peeling carrots = I feel seen/heard. Also, it's been a minute, Yellow Bowl.

OLE YELLOW BOWL give her a movie

@2:55 If this recipe was a diss track, Light brown sugar just said "Fuck the big 3, it's just big me"

I just made carrot cake last night and I agree, it taste best overnight in the fridge. Also because I live in a stupidly hot tropical country and I skipped dinner so I could have cake for breakfast.

This was the cake I made to celebrate me moving to New York last year. It was dense lol but I think in a good way

I love carrot cake and can't wait to try this recipe. I also do wish this channel could be more discerning with sponsorships. BetterHelp was chased off the platform once for a reason.

ugh Alison Roman you're so cool.

This looks amazing

Thank you for making it without walnuts 🎉

I just hosted a Bridgerton watch party for 8 girlies, and this was a HUGE hit! Super duper yummy, stayed nice and moist, and I had leftovers to share with my family and partner after.

Love this video so much. Leonard is so handsome

The getting it out of the fridge/feeling a little naughty reminds me of Nigella Lawson's bit where she eats something out of the fridge as a midnight snack. Kindred spirits

Wow, I'm here early. Edit: Carrot cake was my grandfather's favorite and he lived to 100. Love this.

Wonderful vid! Beautiful cake! And yay…I agree totally with Alison about not peeling carrots! We all learned in 8th grade biology that most of the nutrients are right under the skin. Why would you get rid of that? I use a stiff vegetable brush & scrub vigorously. Your carrots & dates idea looks wonderful to me, but sadly my DH won’t eat dates. (He puts up with me being mostly vegetarian.) Actually, I like raisins, but usually use more interesting things instead. And I love nuts in everything! Love your version, tho & having it cold is genius!

Lol - honestly you are always great Alison - but today you were absolutely hilarious. Can’t wait to make the cake. Totally agree with the raisins, nuts, pineapple - keep it out of the carrot cake - blech.

Mmmm love raisins! 😆

Among the many Hard Agrees for me in this video: 1. I never measure stuff when cooking, but a kitchen scale is indispensable for baking. 2. Why sift when you can whisk? 3. No one will notice if you don't peel your carrots (esp. in a context like a carrot cake). Mild disagree: A raisin is a good surprise... especially a golden raisin!!

I think I would shred the carrots on the small shred or will that change the cake consistency?

someone at the end of the video said "not too sweet" which is the highest compliment, especially if you're asian.

I’m a noted Non-Baker, but this seems achievable and I love cold baked goods, so count me in

Not a fan of carrot cake but this looks so good. Maybe I haven’t had a good carrot cake. Love your videos/recipes. 😊😊

I can eat carrot cake warm or cold, anytime of day. I love the dates and pistash, this sounds like a great alternative to my walnut, raisin, pineapple additions. 😊 P.S. The store looks amazing.

where is yellow bowl from? i love it.

2 questions ~ 1: what is yellow bowl made of? 2: can you link to the actual products you use? like, the scale? ty!

I use the guard thingee that came with my mandolin to grate things because I’m too clumsy for that

H3 Button music was a treat

As someone with a nut allergy, I LOVE that nuts are optional (sprinkled on top)! Carrot cake is my favorite ever but so hard to find without nuts. Can’t wait to make this! Is there anything else you recommend sprinkling on the top instead of pistachios? Or just keep plain? Lmk. Thanks :)

I am so with you on the nuts in cake thing. I always ask and if a cake has nuts I don’t order it….have learned my lesson from unglamourously picking nuts out or even worse spitting them out 😂

Note to self: add bandaids, finger cots, and small first aid kit to the mise. Topanga 1972! I resemble that remark!

This is why I have the shredded processor disk and you do it really quick. I can't box grate cups of carrots. But you do then have to clean the processor :(

I like raisins, and I don't like dates. I guess I'm making this with raisins.

“I think a raisin is a bad surprise” is not only true it’s…poetic?

Oh oh oh, yaaaaz, eat it cold! It’s my favorite way of eating left over birthday cake (with whipped cream). Fridge cold. It's the best. ❤️🥳✌️

A raisin is a bad surprise 🙌

I like raisins.... but I'm willing to try this with dates.

Having such a strong opinion on raisins... any pastry with raisin in it makes me want it ... would skip on them in this one tho...

Thank you for indicating "non convection" vs convection. I wish cooks/chefs would also make the call on salt (kosher vs regular)

I’ve never been so early here and if I don’t come up with something witty soon I’ll lose my spot. Here goes…wanna know why carrots are great for your eyesight? Because you never see a rabbit wearing glasses do you?

I get so nervous watching people use box graters and mandolins.
