[agnesdeque]

[PlaydohMonkey123]

This looks yummy! Hopefully mine will turn out just as nice when I make it later on today. Great vids by the way! :)

[Yissvei]

You're the best.

thank you for all your videos.



[pastryparrot1]

@Yissvei You are welcome! Thank you very much for watching!

[massiveattack786]

im guessing by 350 degrees she means F not C !! luvly video tho..and a luvly woman hehe

[pastryparrot1]

@massiveattack786 Yes! I mean F. Thanks so much for stopping by! I appreciate it!

[leonsceco]

Wow....This is amazing. I've made other cakes before and always wanted to make carrot cake but never got a chance to. I wrote down all the ingredients step by step and followed them. Came Out PERFECT!!!

Thank you so much for the detailed video and explanations, I made a cake and used the excess batter to make cupcakes. One thing to note is not to put too much batter in the pan or it will sink in when cooled :-)

[pastryparrot1]

@leonsceco Yay! I am so happy this worked for you! Thank you very much for letting me know. I appreciate it. Happy New Year to you!

[STarango25]

yeah i made mine today and had to cook at an hr as well :( havent tasted it yet hopefully its not burnt.

[pastryparrot1]

@STarango25 I hope not either! How did it come out? Thanks for giving it a try!

[STarango25]

at what temperture does this have to be baked at?

[pastryparrot1]

@STarango25 This needs to bake at 350 degrees. Thanks!

[819Jennifer08]

I just made this! Absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing!

[pastryparrot1]

@819Jennifer08 Great! Thanks for giving it a try and letting me know! Have a great day!

[DrawingFananza]

What is the temperature in Celcius? (because I'm English)

[pastryparrot1]

@DrawingFananza About 177 degrees. Thanks for watching!

[1lovemocha]

Uggh! It tasted so bland. It needed double the amount of cinnamon and needed nutmeg too. My cake did not bake in 30 minutes--more like 1 hour. Wound up throwing this cake out. It smelled doughy and tasted poopie.

[pastryparrot1]

@1lovemocha I am sorry to hear this. It is the first time someone tries it out and it does not work. Thank you for giving it a try none-the-less.

[WARZINT]

how long does it take to make it cool after the baking ?

[pastryparrot1]

@WARZINT I guess it depends on how cool your kitchen is. I would let it cool for at least an hour. Thanks for coming by!

[siemprebella26]

Dear Mary Ann,Thank you very much for your wonderful recipes ;-) Do you think i cand substitue the carrot in this recipe with pumpkin puree? Or would that come out a total mess?

[pastryparrot1]

@siemprebella26 Thank you so much for coming by! I don't know how pumpkin puree would work. I think it might to be too heavy. I guess the only way to find out would be to make it. Sorry :(

[colby4u]

I have tried this for the 1st time & it TURNED out to be PERFECT along with the cream cheese frosting . My girlfriend is requesting this for a long time and last week is our 1st year anniversary I surprised her by doing this CAKE she loved it & shared it to her colleagues. Muchas GRACIAS & More power to you, GODBLESS

[pastryparrot1]

@colby4u YAY! I am so happy this worked out perfect for you! Thank you very much for giving it a try! You made my day!

[bfa430]

The only part I hated about making this cake was grating the carrots. Apart from that, this was one of the easiest cakes I've ever made. It seems to be fail proof; and now everyone keeps asking me to make it for them :)

[pastryparrot1]

@bfa430 Yes. The grating can be pretty tedious! Thank you for tying it out and letting me know! I appreciate you coming by!

[ryebaby101]

Im making this for my mom for her b day hopefully it works out , thanks

[pastryparrot1]

@ryebaby101 I hope this came out great! Thank you for giving it a try!

[faakhir24]

At what tem she baked it ??

[pastryparrot1]

@faakhir24 Go ahead and bale this at 350 degrees. Thank you very much for watching!

[AZA417]

Awesome! I wanted to make this to sneak in some veggies for my kids. It came out super moist and they couldn't tell there was carrots in it. They didn't even want the frosting on it. Great recipe, thank you so much.

[pastryparrot1]

@AZA417 You are welcome! I am so happy this worked for you! Thank you for letting me know! Have a great week.

[MrSexxxy20]

I LOVE Carrot cake. I've never had it with cream cheese interesting this one I'm definitely going to try.

[pastryparrot1]

@MrSexxxy20 I think you will like it. Thanks again!

[7purplegirl7]

OMG,,,,, i clicked on the vid thinking it waz the 'howcast' ones but the first thing i saw..................

[pastryparrot1]

@7purplegirl7 Hope you liked it. Have a great weekend!

[anisahsc]

Hi just to inform u that I received 1st order from my friend after she tried the cake.. I hope u dont mind about it.. anyway.. I have a question, how can I do the topping without sugar or icing? Can I just use cheese cream & butter?

[pastryparrot1]

@anisahsc Yay! That is great! Congrats! I do not think the cream cheese frosting will taste good without sugar. Why don't you make a little batch with Spenda or sweetner? You might like the taste. Good luck!

[gorgeous1496]

finally i made a delicious carrot cake, thanks for your help :)

[pastryparrot1]

@gorgeous1496 Awesome! Thank you so much for letting me know! Have a wonderful day!

[gorgeous1496]

oh you forgot to tell us the oven temperature

[pastryparrot1]

@gorgeous1496 Bake this at 350 degrees. Thanks for watching!

[anisahsc]

thank you very much for your recipe n this video... I tried the recipe today and it came out perfectly .... the ingredients are simple n easy to find... it's really tasty and suit my taste... I know I dont hv to look for other recipe...thanks again

[pastryparrot1]

@anisahsc Awesome! I am so happy to hear this. Thank you so much for letting me know. I too love this cake! Taker care.

[bayiravimani]

I am definitely going to try this recipe. The only job is grating the carrots. If I cut them in big chunks and put them in a processor, they can become very wet, is that alright?

[pastryparrot1]

@bayiravimani Does your processor have a grating unit? That would me much better. I am afraid the consistency of your cake will suffer if you chop and process. I hope it comes out fantastic! Thanks for watching!

[anisahsc]

it looks very easy n simple to prepare this cake.. I like carrot cake n I definately will try this one.. tq for sharing your recipe.

[pastryparrot1]

@anisahsc You are welcome! Thank you fro coming by! I hope this comes out great for you. Take care!

[KFNCCupcakes]

[agarwalshilpa1]

Thanks, can you tell me how to make a cake in microwave, my microwave does have convection mode too but somehow i can't bake well in microwave.

[pastryparrot1]

@agarwalshilpa1 Hi Agar! I am sorry but I have never baked a cake in the microwave. I really do not use my microwave oven much. Take care!

[agarwalshilpa1]

Thanks,This looks nice and easy, I am planning to try it today, what if i use 2 eggs instead of 4?

[pastryparrot1]

@agarwalshilpa1 No. You need the 4 eggs. Thanks for coming by! Hope the cake comes out great!

[DeathSideAngel]

are you useing gas or electric stove?

[pastryparrot1]

@DeathSideAngel This particular oven was electric. Thanks for coming by!

[jawad384]

[edwelsh]

I messed up my comment but it looks great.

[pastryparrot1]

@edwelsh Thanks Ed! This comment section has turned into a headache, huh? Happy Easter!

[pastryparrot1]

@superdarksonic23 Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

[mukwah1111]

Another great recipe MaryAnn - what about adding in some toasted walnuts to the batter ? Have you ever added them to this recipe? Havent had dinner yet so your yummy cake is making me drool. Thanks so much and Happy Easter to you and yours ! P.S. Hating this new Youtube format ! How bout you ? You like ???

[pastryparrot1]

@mukwah1111 I do hate this new format! It seems less user friendly! The toasted walnuts sound amazingly good! Thanks! I will try it next time. I've used regular walnuts before and it tastes great! Happy Easter to you too! Take good care!

[candi2082]

Yum looks good can you you regular wheat flour?? Have a happy Easter god bless!!!

[pastryparrot1]

@candi2082 You can substitute whole wheat for white as long as it is the same i.e all purpose for all purpose; bread for bread; etc. You need to sift the whole wheat flour a few times so it gets so air in it and your cake is not really heavy and thick.
