Ultimate Carrot Cake

[happyhello1000]

is vanilla extract the same as vanilla essence?

[TitliNihaan]

@happyhello1000 No. Usually extract contains alcohol, but essence doesn't. Check the label to be sure.

[pamilajenkins]

What can I use instead of the mixer? Thank you :).

[TitliNihaan]

@pamilajenkins A whisk

[2upreet]

Hi Titli, can you teach us how to make black forest cake from the scartch.

Thanks

[brciiparabhaktiac]

thanks it looks so traditional. love it.

[cecita26oc]

the pineapple is necessary? plz answer me! love you videos! (:

[TitliNihaan]

@cecita26oc I did say it was optional

[siaojonna]

titli, is it ok if i just use whipping cream than cream cheese for the frosting? XOXO

[TitliNihaan]

@siaojonna Of course!

[attiyahabib]

can u plz mention amount of ingredients quantity in cups .. n spoons plzz plzz ..want to make this cake on my husband's bday ..thanxzz

[pirateofthehills]

ur egg breaking technique is impressive!

[ApfelKoekje]

I have never even seen something like this, but it looks absolutely delicious! But I wonder if a heart/shaped tin is also good and what the ammount of ingredients will be, or else it will be round, is this ok? And how do you get all the special fruit ingredients, do you make them yourself? cause to be honest i have idea how to do that, and i'm pretty sure we don't have it in stores. Please help, i was planning on baking a cake this afternoon and it might be this one if i'm lucky!:D Ilovedthevid!

[TitliNihaan]

@ApfelKoekje I buy all the stuff in stores. For a "normal" (round or heart) sized cake use half the amounts of ingredients

[ApfelKoekje]

@TitliNihaan okay thankyou so much, i have made the cake (with the normal amounts of ingredients showing in the video) in a larger round tin and it went really well. It was a lot of fun to do but sadly my frosting wasn't thique but really thin.. and wasn't what it supposed to be, so it tasted real noticable and too much. but i think it still was an succes and it looks lovely, thankyou.

[randomaccount9819]

Is it ok not to add baking soda??

[TitliNihaan]

@randomaccount9819 Your cake may not be quite so light, but it's OK

[tyarah2008]

the best carrot cake ever thanks!

[buttaz3000]

[TitliNihaan]

@buttaz3000 Scary isn't it. I'm not aware that carrot cake is Indian...

[Nora94xx]

@TitliNihaan OMG LOL <3 I LOVE HER JODEHAVEEEEES

[sweetblueberrykiss]

Wuts up doc? :))

[kawaiiloviexx]

[TitliNihaan]

@kawaiiloviexx Yeeeeeeeees

[MrXtreme981]

your jokes never get old! xD and very nice cake! :)

[BbLoveU1]

What size is your pan?

[TitliNihaan]

@BbLoveU1 It's about 16" x 10"

[blahhgeorgia]

You're the most intriguing person on YouTube. I love your videos, and this recipe seems as good as gold.

[Brenda101ish]

Mrs Doubtfire is so wonderful!

[ayenaa92]

salam titli..can i stim the cake instead of baking it? and what the diffrent result will get? thank you :)

[TitliNihaan]

@ayenaa92 I've never steamed this cake and I have no idea what the result might be!

[nehaphukan]

@titlinihaan thanks so much :) Think its going to turn out scrumptious!

[nehaphukan]

Hi Titli, loving your videos, your so warm and funny :) I'm inspired to attempt your carrot cake for a christmas party; could you tell me a few things though?

1) Dont have an electric mixer, will i get the same results without one?

2) Dont have a baking tin, I have a GLASS dish, will it work?

3) Can i leave out the pineapple?

4) For the icing, when you put in "powdered sugar", whats that? Can i put brown sugar instead?

THANKYOU!! :)

[TitliNihaan]

@nehaphukan 1 yes, 2 yes, 3 yes, 4 It's icing sugar or confectioners' sugar. You need it to be powdery so it will mix properly

[jayjaygibbs]

4:51 There is a hair on the left square of the carrot cake

[TitliNihaan]

@jayjaygibbs We've had this discussion already. The favoured opinion is that it's a carrot fibre.

[jayjaygibbs]

@TitliNihaan lmao. thanks for the recipe

[iChef100]

can you add icing sugar instead of powdered sugar??? and what is powdered sugar is it caster sugar. ???

[TitliNihaan]

@iChef100 There is normal granulated sugar. Then there is caster sugar which is finer (sometimes called powdered sugar). Then there is icing sugar or confectioner's sugar which is like a dust!

[alexander92179]

Are the walnuts opptinal?

[TitliNihaan]

@alexander92179 Of course

[daggoe61]

is cream cheese and mascarpone cheese the same

i cant find cream cheese can i use mascarpone cheese wil the carrot cake taste different

[TitliNihaan]

@daggoe61 They are very similar.

[gmilner93]

5:12 oh my...

[MsFairytal3]

I'm gonna try this tomorrow for my boyfriend hihi :-)

Greetz from Belgium

[alexander92179]

Do you add in all of the powdered sugar?

[alexander92179]

Do you add in all of the powdered sugar for the icing?

[TitliNihaan]

@alexander92179 Yes

[TheNajihah96]

Dear Titli , if i use different type of oil , will the carrot cake taste different ?

[TitliNihaan]

@TheNajihah96 Yes. If you use engine oil it will taste horrible

[breakingthebeat]

i likw you:)

[singingsuga]

I love your videos!! <3 Thanks for this one, my dad will love this for his biirthday! <3

[agat86]

Love your videos and recipes!

[Sal0ry]

Titli, since I believe you still live in France, what brand of cream cheese do you use because I live in a french overseas territory and it's not always easy to find cream cheese apart from mascarpone, which is very costly!

[TitliNihaan]

@Sal0ry You can use Philadelphia (if you can get it)

[ooopurpleooo]

You are the best! This is my MOST FAVOURITE cake ever!!! It is my birthday tomorrow and this comes just at the right time!

[rubriklitanea]

thanks for the recipe...i like all your videos...interesting...Allah Bless You!

[DesertRos]

you rock titli you so so funny!

[daggoe61]

I've made it and i'm eating it now and it's really super nice

[meeero16]

HELP I CAN'T FIND BAKING SODA , WHAT DO I DO ? :S

[TitliNihaan]

@meeero16 Use baking powder if you can find it, or bicarbonate of soda from your pharmacist

[meeero16]

@TitliNihaan wow pharmacy :O , hahaha who knew i'd need ingredients from a drug store ^^,,. But yes I added some more baking powder, not sure how the cake is going to turn out, its still in the oven might take a little more time than mentioned in the video , But I shall update you with the results. THank you Titli Nihan and I love all your recipies XD ...will be trying maqlooba for tomorrow yummy ;D

[ShreddexReturn]

is vanilla essence the same thing as vanilla extract?

[TitliNihaan]

@ShreddexReturn No. True extract is a solution in alcohol, while essence is often a sugar-water based solution.

[XMasLeeX]

hmmmm..........that explains why i have a mouth full of fillings.

[89tequila]

i would love to go to her house for dinner :)

[22mononoke]

Hi! Do you measure the carrots before or after grating? Thank you.

[TitliNihaan]

@22mononoke Not really!

[22mononoke]

@TitliNihaan

Sorry, I meant do you weigh the carrots before grating them or after? :-)

[TitliNihaan]

@22mononoke Neither!

[lolxmusics]

For the cream cheese frosting you used granulated sugar right? you didn't use powdered sugar! lol

[LiNaIsHeReToDaY]

When I was little I thought carrots were french fries. XD

[redcherie03]

dear madam Titli,

can you show us how to make a red velvet cake..pretty please.. :D

regard from Malaysia :)

[gardini100]

you are one of my favorite chefs now ....im not a big cake fan ...but french choclate cake and carrot cake is so good :D

[yalee1996]

do ypu use 250ml cups?

love your vids :)

[yalee1996]

do you use 250ml cups?

[TitliNihaan]

@yalee1996 Yes I do.

[meri791]

thank you so much just came across your videos looks nice and easy and plus you make us laugh:))

[oqs15]

can i use regular vegetable oil?

[RockyBalboa211]

I love you! I just made this cake, and it was scrumdiddlyumptious!

[Lilia1992]

lol I never realised when eating carrot cake that it was a veggie

[AJSwisgirl]

that looks delicious but now, I know how much sugar is in the cake , I probably wouldn't have it again :-(((

[TitliNihaan]

@AJSwisgirl That is one advantage of watching recipes for things we see on menus or in shops!

[AJSwisgirl]

@TitliNihaan You are absolutely right ! I like the way you make things so easy ...Like your video !

[rastan1977]

Do i really need an electric mixer and can i use use self raising flower so i dont have to use baking powder

[TitliNihaan]

@rastan1977 No and Yes :-)

[DARABRAND]

Titli. I just had carrot cake for dinner, carrot cake for breakfast and contemplating carrot cake for lunch. This recipe is DIVINE and DANGEROUS.

[truegirl2]

wheres the hair i cant see it..

[khal507]

You're funny :)

[persie31]

can i use margarine instead of cooking oil?

[Moonflower12]

omnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom.­

[Jennavee12]

You do everything so perfectly. :3

[FraserHenryMulliner]

there is a hair in the CAKE!!!!

[TitliNihaan]

@FraserHenryMulliner Oh the joys of HD! Not sure it's a hair - mine aren't that colour - but I'm not sure what it is!

[Jennavee12]

@TitliNihaan :3 are you denying your hair isn't white?

[TitliNihaan]

@Jennavee12 The video suggests it is kinda mousey brown. A veritable kaleidoscope of browns!

[tut8tut]

@TitliNihaan its probably carrot fibre a.k.a known as carrot hair

[Kurolli]

@FraserHenryMulliner how the hell do you know that o-o

[shanagurl112]

@FraserHenryMulliner i didnt see any hair

[TitliNihaan]

@TheRedLazor Love the riposte! He's blocked...

[EasyRecipesHQ]

[SharonDuke1]

[TitliNihaan]

@SharonDuke1 Get the perc on...

[SharonDuke1]

@TitliNihaan I have a feeling that if the right people pay attention, you will be very famous, very fast.

[Lightningcheez]

Awesome, The Delia Smith of Youtube, I salute you Madam!

[TitliNihaan]

@Lightningcheez Delia who?

;-)

[BirdseyeSky]

This is the only carrot cake that turned out well :). 3 other were a disaster and I have no idea why.

[mharvz]

Love your cooking vids! I like the way you present all of them. Through viewing all of those, I've learned many cooking ideas. More power! :)

[kizarsan]

i wish you're my granny!! =p

[valeriareyes123]

[valeriareyes123]

[MissPonderosa]

o0o your cake AND frosting looked so so good

[VirtuosoX1]

[OriMedian]

[sumitha811]

I LOVE CARROT CAKES ! but i've been looking for recipes for sooo long. I just couldn't trust the recipes because I don't know where they come from. But I really trust your recipe. Everyone loves my baking whenever i bake your desert recipes. I'll defenitly use this recipe! thank you so much! you're awesome ! :)

[Alalalalala11]

I have a recipe of eggplant cake and zucchini cake and they are both great

I'M SERIOUS

[emperorscrumbs]

:) wow! carrots in ears... it is like when my kids are cooking :)

[agnesdeque]

Après 10 mn le moule doit être encore bien chaud.Attention à tes mimines Titli!

[757EMINE]

ThANK YOU TITLY:)

[TitliNihaan]

@757EMINE You're welcome!

[757EMINE]

Hello,wich cream cheese is that,i wanna make to:) thanks

[TitliNihaan]

@757EMINE I used mascarpone cheese, but you could use Philly too.

[peeleykeeley]

Which type of vanilla essence is used in this cake? Often times (at least here in the States), vanilla contains a significant amount of alcohol.

[peeleykeeley]

Titli, which type of vanilla are you using? Many types of vanilla essence (especially here in the States) often contain between 15 to 35% alcohol, which is not halal...

[TitliNihaan]

@peeleykeeley Vanilla *essence* is usually a solution of vanilla flavouring with some caramel. Vanilla *extract* usually contains alcohol. You may also be able to find something called "vanilla sugar" which is vanilla flavoured sugar.

[peeleykeeley]

@TitliNihaan I've never seen that here. We're deprived in New York, in some ways. Plus, vanilla tends to be rather expensive. Do you have any suggestions for an ingredient to use en lieu of the vanilla?

[TitliNihaan]

@peeleykeeley You can leave it out, but I'm amazed you can't get vanilla essene in NY!

[agnesdeque]

@peeleykeeley La vanille liquide Vahiné ,je ne savais pas que c'était si cher que ça?Ca m'étonne bp!

[vellie888]

@peeleykeeley I'm surprised too! I've been to NY and it doesn't strike me as a state that wouldn't have it. Doesn't vanilla extract come in those little bottles at the supermarket?

[iamandaaaaa]

I just subscribed because of your great personality (:

[ZielonyPie1]

Titli! I love your videos.

I made a blog ( I messaged you before saying I was planning on doing it!) about cooking through your recipies. Well I finally started and your carrot cake was my first recipe. It was delicious :)l

I hope you do not mind!

[TitliNihaan]

@ZielonyPie1 I've linked to it on the recipe on my website!

[shyic]

Looks awesome, I'm definitely gonna try it out!

I have a few questions. I've noticed that a carrot cake recipe typically calls for vegetable oil instead of butter. Is there a special reasons for this, can you use butter instead?

Also, I've found a recipe that uses cooked and mashed carrots instead of shredded ones. In your opinion, which one should be more moist? Thx.

[TitliNihaan]

@shyic I think it asks for oil on health grounds. Using that much butter would probably give you a heart attack just by looking at it!

The nice thing about the grated carrot it that it gives a bit of texture to the cake. Using mashed carrots would still probably be as moist, but you would lose the texture.

[sharia01]

i really enjoy all your videos and ur recipies are wonderful thank you . Your awsoome

[M4037331]

this looks great.......my mouth is sure watery :)

[p111nad]

fantastic, another winning recipe from titli.

[thesaskiabubble]

Titli! Please I've lived in France for nearly ten years and WHERE do you find cream cheese?! My dad can never make his cream cheese frosting... :(

[tileb]

@thesaskiabubble Well,

If you're living somewhere near Paris, you can find Philadelphia at la grande épicerie.

[thesaskiabubble]

@tileb Ok I live nowhere NEAR Paris...I live in the Var :)

[TitliNihaan]

@thesaskiabubble I buy marscapone from my local Intermarche.

[thesaskiabubble]

@TitliNihaan Ok thanks. I've heard it was a substitute but tried it and wasn't sure about putting it on a carrot cake. Thanks for the advice!

[tileb]

@thesaskiabubble I also heard that Saint Moret is a good substitute..kinda salty though... TitliNihaan, you who lives near Switzerland, do you know that they sell Philadelphia at Migros?

[thesaskiabubble]

@tileb cool, thanks :)

[TitliNihaan]

@tileb I must look next time I go there. I don't tend to shop at Migros much. Thanks!

[mdndahoodnawaz]

@TitliNihaan titli i must ask, you have such a happy and excited personality as though youve never encountered a stressful time in your entire life but can you confirm that you have actually had some highly stressful or traumatic times in your life, i watch your videos to relive my stress

[TitliNihaan]

@mdndahoodnawaz I am in my late 40's. I have had many, many difficult times in my life. But I believe life is for living. However bad things may seem, it is only time before things get better in some way. Verily after suffering comes relief. SubhanAllah.

[skzip888]

Lovely as always Titli. Now I've got something to do with the orange zest I've save up in my freezer.

[DuduTheFlapper]

One day I found a piece of my carrot cake in the mouth of my cat ! How unlikely is this... ?

Thanks for the video Titli!

[TitliNihaan]

@DuduTheFlapper Your cat has a sweet tooth!

[tileb]

Hi Titli,

i've always been wondering what is canola oil in French?

[TitliNihaan]

@tileb Canola oil (also known as rapeseed oil) is huile de colza

[BeckyInCa]

My mouth is definitely watering. Thanks.

[kingdomoffspring6]

oh my Titli i think you are God sent...literally. I had a carrot cake for the first time yesterday and fell in love with it. I wished i could make one and ur video just pooped out of nowhere. Thanks!

[EveryNina]

Thank you so much for making this! My mum will be happy for this cake YUM!

[agnesdeque]

est-ce qu'on peut mettre moinds d'huile?

parce que je HAIS l'huile enfin la graisse :s

[TitliNihaan]

@0heartshapedbruise On peut essayer...

[tinghaling]

I've saved so much money on the electric bill since eating carrots.

As you may know, they help you see in the dark...

[hypnotiqdom]

I loooove Carrot Cake!

[wildcutejulie2]

can you make a video of you talking french hahaaa

[TitliNihaan]

@wildcutejulie2 See my video for Boeuf Bourguignonne...

[agnesdeque]

@wildcutejulie2 Très drôle de l'entendre parler français

[CollyWogs1]

Oh I never thought of using pineapple to sweeten up my carrot cake! I've always used chipped apples in my batter. Can't wait to give your version a try though!

[THERANDOMNESS84]

titli bonjour j'aime vos vidéos, ils m'amusent

Je me souviens de vous envoyer un message sur facebook

Je lui ai expliqué que j'étais therandomness84

Je ne vais pas mettre mon nom sur youtube parce que YouTube a tant de gens sur ici

de toute façon je me demandais (ne cherche pas à sonner effrayant ou quelque chose)

Où habitez-vous (wow ce commentaire a eu beaucoup de temps pour arriver au point) LOL

[TitliNihaan]

@THERANDOMNESS84 J'habite pres de Bellegarde sur Valserine (01), mais en fait j'habite en Rhone-Alpes (74) :-)

[cmxcmx]

Looks delicious! Cheers!

[jonnycoyle]

I used to hate the thought of carrot cake but i have to say it is now my favourite cake by far.

[sahds91]
