The Best Carrot Cake Ever
Subscribe & check out my other videos! youtube.com/cookingandcrafting
NOTE: I have since upgraded my mixer TWICE and have a Kitchen Aid. Maybe you spoiled people have that kind of money but I did not, so I upgraded when I could. Relax and watch a different video if this one bugs you!!!
The video gives the full recipe.
Blend together in mixer. Bake for 35-40 min at 350 in an 8 x 10 pan. You may use other size pans if wanted, i.e., 9 x 9.
NOTE: The original, full sized recipe, needs to be divided into a bundt and a bread pan, as there are a lot of ingredients. If all poured into the bundt pan, it will not cook all the way through.
Please check your cake to make sure it is thoroughly baked. It may take longer in YOUR oven.
Frosting:
4 oz. cream cheese (softened)
1/2 stick of margarine
8 oz. of confectioners sugar (more, if necessary)
1 tsp. vanilla
Blend cream cheese and butter till creamy in mixer. Add vanilla. Slowly add sugar until creamy.
BEST CARROT CAKE EVER, according to Chrissy Teigen - IS IT?
Chrissy Teigen shared what she thought was the Best Carrot Cake Ever on social media a little while back and I wanted to put that to the test. It's the perfect time because I have a special birthday request for a carrot cake - the pressure is on! Because there is a lot of carrots in the recipe, I'm going to pretend this is a healthy cake option :) Seems the star is the golden buttermilk glaze that is poured over the cake before icing. This isn't Chrissy's recipe, in fact it's a recipe from Southern Living, but she recently posted an IG story about turning this cake into a Carrot Cake Trifle and it looked yummy. You ready to see if this cake lives up to the title of best ever? Alright, let's start grating these carrots because we need 2 cups!

FOR THE RECIPE REFERENCED IN TODAY'S VIDEO:
QUICK TIPS WE LEARNED AFTER TEST:
1. This cake calls for 3 layers of cakes, I only did 2 and it was enough. Was scared it would topple over with the frosting between layers.
2. I omitted the nuts due to allergies but added in raisins, so do what you love.
3. The recipe calls for cinnamon only, which was good but it was missing that warmness/spiciness like nutmeg, cloves and ginger. If you like those flavors, maybe add a little to the dry ingredients.
4. Make sure to pour the buttercream glaze over the cake right after you pull it out of the oven while still hot. Let it sit until totally cooled down or your cream cheese frosting will melt!
5. I served this cake 4 hours after making. Still good but almost too moist from the glaze. After 24 hours, the cake was better once the glaze settled into the cake and wasn't too moist. So make it the night before if you can.
