hi betty thank you for this recipe my family love it. it is really good and i make it most of the time.
i just wanted to ask you when i make the cream cheese frosting it starts to curdle. i don't know why it happens please could you let me know what to do about it thank you.
@princessmariam1 I have never had a problem with the frosting curdling. It' just fresh cream cheese, butter, confectioner's sugar, and vanilla. Nothing can go wrong, unless your cream cheese is not good.
Hi Betty!! first of all congratulations for your videos, I love them, you really provide this "homemade" feeling to the viewers, please keep up the good work! Well, the other day I tried Starbucks' carrot muffins, they are delicious and I want to make them, can I use the same batter that you used here?? Do you have a specific recipe for muffins that I can just add the carrots to it?? Thanks betty, greetings from Chile, south america :)
@helvetikko Hi! Thanks for the lovely comment! I have a recipe for Carrot Bran Cupcakes that you might like. Otherwise, just use the Carrot Cake batter in muffin tins.
Betty i made this cake for Thanksgiving it was so delicious my family loved it Thank you ..I want to let u know u I Love the way you explain every detail and you make eveything look so simple .. im a Fan of yours Thanks . i will try to make your red velvet cake next :)
i love your recipe but i have to admit that when i saw the amount of oil that went in that bowl i was speechless but when i tasted the cake I didn't really care anymore
Merci beaucoup pour cette delicieuse recette je viens de la faire c'est tres bon ... Ce gâteau sera sur notre table au dessert…avec une bon tisane. Merci encore :)
@mdsm0108 You may use a 9x13 glass baking dish, but I would hold back on some of the batter and bake that separately in a small baking pan or dish. (You don't want the cake to rise and spill over the top.) The baking time will be determine by sticking a toothpick in the center to see if it comes out clean.
Hi Betty.... I made this recipe yesterday and again today. problem is, ir developed steam pockets and ended up being only a 1/4 inch thick in som eplaces, while the rest was fine. I followed the recipe exactly and dont know what went wrong :( can you help?
@LadySilverWolfe if you used self rising flour, make sure you sift it with your dry ingredients, and after you add all the wet ingredients including the fruits and vegetables mix the ingredients with a spatula or wooden spoon like crazy making sure you don't Incorporate and any air. that should do it, if not once your batter is in the cake pan tap the bottom until most of the air pockets rise hope that helps! good luck
@everybodyluvssabbath Yes, you may use any nut that you like in cakes in place of the pecans (or leave them out). You may also leave out the coconut; you might want to replace it with raisins, just so there won't seem like something is missing.
@khokharhumazah1 Put less oil in, to your liking. The cake will not be as moist, but it will be good; the pineapple juice from the crushed pineapples will add some moisture.
betty can i use all purpose flour instead of self rising btw i tried ur italian cream cake and i made it about 6 times it is so light airy fluffy :) and as pleae tell me how i would use all purpose flour.
This looks like a great recipe. I'm going to try this next time I need a knockout dessert. Good job on the recipe and video. Love your accent too, you sound so friendly! =)
Dear Betty, This is a great recipe. I would love to try this cake. But there is a problem. I normally use cups to measure things. So how much cups is 1 1/2 pound of confectioners sugar are there?
This is (by far) the best carrot cake recipe I've ever come across! It made such a big cake in the end that I gave 1/3 to the couple next door and they couldn't get over how delicious it was either! Thank you, Betty! PS: I didn't have any pineapple and used more coconut than what the recipe asked for but it still turned out perfect ;-)
I know this question is going to be stupid but how do I fold the wax paper so I can cut it into a circle? I'm asking because I'm only 11 and I have never fold wax paper into the form to cut a circle except for the 1 time I made this cake and I tried to make the circle but it was a fail.
@110cottoncandy Fold the waxed paper in half and then in half again, and then one or two more times. Use scissors to cut a rounded edge so that the pie shape will fit from the center to the edge of the pan, and then open it up and trim.
Hi Betty, I only have the two cake pans...would like to try three layers, is there any problem with me just leaving the cake mixture aside whilst the first two layers cook? cake just still rise slightly? would you leave it in fridge whilst waiting for the first two to cook? Sorry for being a pain, thankyou :D
@minxdublin Yes, you may leave 1/3 of the cake mixture aside while the first two layers are baking. I don't think it would be necessary to refrigerate the batter, but if you would feed better about it, you could refrigerate it for about 15 minutes, and then let it come to room temperature before baking.
Hi Betty, umm Im making this for my dads birthday tomorrow and I want it to be a two layer cake only. But I only have one round 9 inch pan to use, can you tell me how to know how much half of the batter is ? Thanks. :)
@LdLerinaAa I can't say right of the top of my head, but if you mix up the batter and spoon it evenly into two identical containers, you will know that each of them has exactly half of the batter, and you can put that into your single cake pan and bake, one after the other.
i was wondering if there were any ingredients that could be replaced with healthier substitutes? i wanan try making this but it also sounds like it has a lot of calories (obviously since this is a cake duhh)
@Joverrated You may omit the coconut and pecans, because those are not necessary to the success of the cake, but they provide a lot of calories. You could also replace half of the oil with applesauce to keep the cake nice and moist and to cut out some calories.
i cudnt help but laugh a little at the transitioning. i felt like whenever betty was explaining something and she was cut off midsentence, it was like the cameraman saying yeahhh yeahhh i get it move on lol
@Joverrated Cameraman here--I wouldn't presume to cut Betty off. At the time she did this video her uploads were limited to 10 minutes (or maybe just a bit more), and she had to edit severely to fit this complicated recipe into that time frame. That made for some choppier transitions than usual.
@CuteBunnyKiss I have sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies, chocolate drop cookies, snickerdoodles cookies, brown-eyed cookies, ranger cookies, no-bake oatmeal cookies, plus probably a few more, if you want to take a look at them in bettyskitchen.
I made this last night but instead of butter for the frosting i used heavy whipping cream and it was thicker but tasted exactly the same! thanks so much 4 the recipe
Betty, yesterday I made 4 of ur delicious carrot cakes to celebrate my sis's engagement for my whole family :-) my arm sour from all the grating but I love baking!
betty, thanks for this video.. i am a grandpa from the land down under and so happy to learn from you... i've got 3 grand daughters who enjoy my baking.. i will add this to my to-bake-list while visiting them in melbourne during the 2011 aust open tennis...
Hey Betty, I am sure I have over looked this question already has probably been asked...can I substitute the sugar for splenda? There are diabetics in the family and this info would be most helpful. Thanks!
hey betty i was just noticing that you were in some kind of a hurry to get the cake done when you were mixing in the ingredients......were you or was that just me? Thanks(:
@nailpolishaddict101 It was bad judgment on my part to try to complete the cake and the frosting in the same video! There is a lot to be done and a lot of details to explain, so I was trying to keep it under 10 minutes, which I didn't quite make!
@ninjatot You may leave out the pecans and coconut. You could substitute raisins for the coconut, but that's not necessary. Yes, you may use almonds or cashews, but you need to be sure they are chopped finely, because they are harder than pecans, and I wouldn't want to bite down on a whole almond in this cake!
Betty, thanks for the wonderful recipe! Tried it today for my birthday and the result was "finger-licking-can-I have-another-one-I-could-kill-for-it" good. Although I have to confess I made the frosting even more decadent and substituted part of the sugar with melted white chocolate. And one another thing - you could even do a recipe "Sautéed floor mop for 6" and still look elegant! You're one fine lady!
Dear Betty I just found you on youtube a couple of weeks ago and I already made your Red Velvet cake and pumkin loaf. Next up is this beautiful Carot Cake. I was wondering do you ever sift the flower? Another question you use waxpaper but can I also use baking paper? Thanks:)
Lots of love from The Netherlands where I just love you wonderful recipes!!!
@meisjeamsterdam Thanks for your lovely comment and feedback! I never sift flour; it never needs it when I get it from the local supermarket. I can't tell any difference at all from sifted flour or sifted confectioner's sugar--it would only be a problem it there were lumps in it. And baking paper is fine in the place of waxed paper.
Betty, im an enthusiastic young cook and i really enjoy baking. I live in england near london and sometimes it can be difficult finding some of the brands, but its really easy with your videos:) thankyou betty!
My husband loves carrot cake, and I 'm using this recipe for thanksgiving day. I have twenty five people coming over, I know this will be the gossip for the family. Love your videos.... many blessings to you and the family....Thank you!
I have a great and REALLY easy carrot cupcake recipe with an awesome cream cheese frosting over on my channel. Check it out if you get a chance and let me know what you think!
Hi Betty, I loved your recipe! I did incorporate a couple changes and it still came out wonderfully. I used 1 cup of oil and brown sugar instead of white. I also put the carrots through my juicer using the pulp and most of the juice. I found that the cake came out perfectly even with these changes. Your cream cheese recipe is fantastic. I love your videos, they are fun to follow and easy enough for a novice cook like myself. Thank you so much for sharing! You are wonderful!
@MegaPeachBunny I don't like using a lot of sugar in any recipe, but I won't spoil the cake and waste ingredients by cutting corners when the sugar is needed. This is a really good recipe--I just eat smaller portions!
YUMMY, YUMMY,Another usuful and tasteful Betty's recipe! Thank you very much indeed! I want to kwon if I can use cashew nuts instead of pecans or other kind of nut. Greetings from Central America.
@suerteeterna Thanks for your lovely comment! Yes, you may use any kind of nut that you like. If it is a "hard" nut, such as cashews or peanuts, I would chop them until they are in small pieces. It would not be pleasant to bite into a piece of cake and get a large whole cashew!
@bettyskitchen I cooked a carrot cake following your indications last sundy and my family love it! I asked you about using cashew nuts 'cause they're cheaper than pecans in my homeland, anyway I used pecans but not the amount that you used. Kind of funny that some of my relatives didn't want to believe that I cooked it. I wish you and your family health, happiness and peace.
I made ur carrot cakeabt 2 months ago (with ingredients a bit more amplified and sugar reduced a bit in the icing) Wow, it was too good! I made again for a family gathering and now I am required to make a cake for every party :D I luvvv this cake ( maybe a bit too much) LOL!
I'm trying this cake today and can't wait to taste it! Your video's make things so much easier with your demonstations. I think I better try your work out sessions also! You do stay in such excellent condition! Thanks Betty!!
Betty...just magnificent as always but what I can't figure out after seeing so many wonderful dishes you make is how you keep that awesome figure at your age?
How do you stay so shapely and beautiful....is the fountain of youth in those eggs or cream cheese?
can canola oil substitute for vegetable oil? i want to make carrot muffin.... should i use only a half amount of ingeredients you mentioned?

hi betty,
do you have to add coconut and tohse nuts or almonds
elizabeth4everish 1 year ago
@elizabeth4everish You can leave out the coconut and the pecans (or substitute a nut that you like), and the cake will still be terrific!

Hey Betty, I am sure I have over looked this question already has probably been asked...can I substitute the sugar for splenda? There are diabetics in the family and this info would be most helpful. Thanks!

nailpolishaddict101 1 year ago
@nailpolishaddict101 It was bad judgment on my part to try to complete the cake and the frosting in the same video! There is a lot to be done and a lot of details to explain, so I was trying to keep it under 10 minutes, which I didn't quite make!

hi @bettyskitchen, 1) can i omit the pecans and coconut? will it affect the quality of the cake?
and 2) can i also replace the pecan with other nuts like almonds, cashew, etc.?
ninjatot 1 year ago
@ninjatot You may leave out the pecans and coconut. You could substitute raisins for the coconut, but that's not necessary. Yes, you may use almonds or cashews, but you need to be sure they are chopped finely, because they are harder than pecans, and I wouldn't want to bite down on a whole almond in this cake!
--Betty :)

@bettyskitchen alright. thanks for the tips Betty! :)
ninjatot 1 year ago
Betty, thanks for the wonderful recipe! Tried it today for my birthday and the result was "finger-licking-can-I have-another-one-I-could-kill-for-it" good. Although I have to confess I made the frosting even more decadent and substituted part of the sugar with melted white chocolate. And one another thing - you could even do a recipe "Sautéed floor mop for 6" and still look elegant! You're one fine lady!

Dear Betty I just found you on youtube a couple of weeks ago and I already made your Red Velvet cake and pumkin loaf. Next up is this beautiful Carot Cake. I was wondering do you ever sift the flower? Another question you use waxpaper but can I also use baking paper? Thanks:)
Lots of love from The Netherlands where I just love you wonderful recipes!!!
meisjeamsterdam 1 year ago
@meisjeamsterdam Thanks for your lovely comment and feedback! I never sift flour; it never needs it when I get it from the local supermarket. I can't tell any difference at all from sifted flour or sifted confectioner's sugar--it would only be a problem it there were lumps in it. And baking paper is fine in the place of waxed paper.

Hi Betty, I loved your recipe! I did incorporate a couple changes and it still came out wonderfully. I used 1 cup of oil and brown sugar instead of white. I also put the carrots through my juicer using the pulp and most of the juice. I found that the cake came out perfectly even with these changes. Your cream cheese recipe is fantastic. I love your videos, they are fun to follow and easy enough for a novice cook like myself. Thank you so much for sharing! You are wonderful!

MegaPeachBunny 1 year ago
@MegaPeachBunny I don't like using a lot of sugar in any recipe, but I won't spoil the cake and waste ingredients by cutting corners when the sugar is needed. This is a really good recipe--I just eat smaller portions!

YUMMY, YUMMY,Another usuful and tasteful Betty's recipe! Thank you very much indeed! I want to kwon if I can use cashew nuts instead of pecans or other kind of nut. Greetings from Central America.
suerteeterna 1 year ago
@suerteeterna Thanks for your lovely comment! Yes, you may use any kind of nut that you like. If it is a "hard" nut, such as cashews or peanuts, I would chop them until they are in small pieces. It would not be pleasant to bite into a piece of cake and get a large whole cashew!
--Betty :)
bettyskitchen 1 year ago
@bettyskitchen I cooked a carrot cake following your indications last sundy and my family love it! I asked you about using cashew nuts 'cause they're cheaper than pecans in my homeland, anyway I used pecans but not the amount that you used. Kind of funny that some of my relatives didn't want to believe that I cooked it. I wish you and your family health, happiness and peace.

Betty...just magnificent as always but what I can't figure out after seeing so many wonderful dishes you make is how you keep that awesome figure at your age?
How do you stay so shapely and beautiful....is the fountain of youth in those eggs or cream cheese?

@jawad384 I don't know about your oven, but generally when you get your oven to the temperature your recipe needs, it's preheated.
--Betty :)

@jawad384 Generally about 15 mins. Red light will go off when it's ready.
