I do mine a little different and won awards with it. I use chopped walnuts and 2 cups of sweetened coconut. Makes it awesome.
I wouldn't want coconut in mine, Carrots yes! But I'm glad you like it with coconut.
I’d add some crushed pineapple
What’s your recipe?
Tammy I forgot to say to watch yourself in this bad weather we are having all over right now. I live in California and it has been horrible. It has rained so much and snowed so much and still raining and the snow is melting and we are in a huge mess right now. Please take good care and be careful....Keeping everyone in prayer. God's Blessing to all here on this site with Collard Valley Cooks....
That is beautiful!
Gorgeous cake. I love Carrot cake🥕
I’m gonna bake one for Easter, a Pecan Pie and a Lemon Pound Cake. We love sweets at my house❤
Be safe I’m in WI and we’ve been getting your weather patterns later in the week 14 inches of snow this past Saturday..
Thank you ❤
I love this woman she's so precious.
If I may add I forgo adding flour to the raisins and soak them in hot coffee or hot water they are so much more plump and moist in a cake.
Strain them squeeze the water out and they will be amazing!
In the North we like a little bit more spice so I add a little bit of allspice and a little bit of nutmeg as well.
Wonder if you can soak them in hot vanilla water. Would intensify the flavor I think. How long do you let them soak?
I like to soak my raisins too! They have a wonderfully light texture and the flavor is yummy. It doesn't have that "raisin-y" taste.
@@tracylynnfarley6748 hello , I like to soak raisin in wine overnight before I make fruit cake , taste good
First time to meet a such a traditional spoken American family, I often watch American shows but I think those people are mostly from new York or California. This accent sounds southern and it's nice to see tradition still alive. I'm from South Africa and I love your cooking!
I love a homemade carrot cake and I make mine just like you do. I actually use golden raisins. They are so good with cream cheese icing. Thank you for reminding me I need to bake one of these. ❤
I always use golden raisins too but for this video I used half golden and half regular just so that you could see the raisins more for the video
I use golden too
What brand of mixer asr you using?? I have never seen one like it. I really like the looks and mixing of it. Thank you.
@@MsDale1976 amzn.to/42xphph
Hye from Malaysia..my favourite 🥕 🎂 luv it ❤
i accidentally came across your carrot cake video. It looks really delicious. You look really beautiful ma'am. thank you❤️❤️
I loved watching this! I'm fascinated by your mixer. I tend to make mine very plain with no nuts, pineapple, dates or raisins. When I add these ingredients, I lose people with each addition. My secret to a good carrot cake is a little hand-grated fresh nutmeg.
P.S. Ina Garten says grate carrots by hand for a fluffier cake. Organic carrots tend to be more flavorful.
Oh yes to the nutmeg... so true!
No to raisins and pineapple
Hail Mary and Joseph, Tammy you are the ultimate Queen of Cakes; that looks unbelievable. I wish I could make things like this, I just know i could never decorate it as nice as you do. You are super talented - your momma would be proud ❤love and blessings from England.
That cake looks dangerously delicious!
Tammy, just like with pie cut two pieces before you remove one. For some reason the first piece of thin come out intact with no trouble at all. My grandmother taught me that I have been making pie and cake for 55 years. Love your channel I never get tired of it and I always learn something new.
As always, baking perfection! Tammy is the Queen of Cakes!
Oh my goodness! That cake is a work of art!! I love carrot cake, but I’ve never attempted to make one. I’m thinking I probably never will despite seeing how easy you make it look, but then I remember I never thought I’d make homemade biscuits and after watching you make only a one cup of flour version, I now make them all the time. So, you never know!😜

Proud of you for taking a risk ,trying a new recipe. Your daring assures success.

Beautiful,
You did an outstanding job with that cake. The way you applied the icing and the decorations was excellent. I can see you learned from a professional. It's a labor intensive cake with the grating of the carrots and coating the raisins with flour and the chopping of the nuts but if you have the time, I'm sure it makes a big difference in the way it all turns out. The video was very enjoyable to watch.
I use black walnuts and dark raisins, my grandson wants for birthdays,holidays, any day!
Tammy, I made this cake and took it to a church function last week. It was a big hit because it was the first dessert to go! It’s now my favorite cake. Thank you❤
Awesome!
I've made this cake four times already. My family loves it!
Glad you liked it!!
Love your accent! I also love that your husband does the video taping. Such a wholesome family cooking channel 💝🖖
i love your southern accent. thank you for this. good luck and many blessings
Beautiful cake & I am most definitely making this for Easter. I’ve never made a carrot cake and I’m 57. It’s about time I did.
Hope you enjoy
👍This is the recipe that my aunt used, except that she added the baking powder, soda (? ) and salt to the flour instead of self rising flour. She made one on most holidays. It was one of my favorite cakes, and she gave me the recipe when I was a teenager. Loved it.
That would be baking powder. Best wishes for your recipe!
OMG, I love cake and carrot cake (next to pound cake) is my favorite! Actually, my favorite iced cake is carrot cake. Pound cake or lemon loaf are my 1 2 3 in no particular order for me. Thank you Tammy and Chris! God bless!
Tammy thank you for telling us to use same kind of measuring scoops ( and I do have the measuring scoops thanks for Mother’s Day gifts that I ordered)you explain everything. You’re the BEST ❤❤
Oh my goodness!!! What a beautiful cake. Tammy, you sure got what it takes.....
A trick I learned to keep fruit from sinking is to fold it into your batter. Don't let the mixer do it because it incorporates the flour in! The less folds it takes, the better. Hope this helps. ❤
Great tip!
I was just looking for a good carrot cake recipe! You're wonderful Miss Tammy!
Beautiful… Simply beautiful❤
Omg, I want a piece of that cake so bad. God bless.
I made this for my mother's 87th Birthday yesterday and it was the most delicious cake! Thank you!!!
Wonderful!
My mom used to bake, freeze and ship me giant cakes across country: 7up, German chocolate or carrot cake .
I can’t believe how good that cake looks ♥️
Looks like heaven
I just would like to say that I would love to be able to crawl through my TV screen and eat that entire cake!!!😋
This carrot cake looks beautiful, and delicious!
Tammy, that’s one of the prettiest carrot cakes I’ve see. And I’m sure delicious too!
This is like the carrot cake I grew up with. With pineapple. 🥰🥰🥰
Hello, I made your cake yesterday. I had to make a couple of substitutions. I didn't have cookling oil , so I used MTC oil. I didn't have any crushed pineapple, so I added some dries cranberry. It is very good. I think the MTC oil made it a little more dense, and the bottom and edges were a little crunchy. But everyone seemed to like the crunchy. I also added a little bit of Kitklands' orange liqueur in both the batter and frosting. Thanks.
Sounds great!
That cake is a thing of beauty.
You seem like a beautiful person. Lovely cake..I will definitely try it. God bless you.
Beautiful cake, I’m going to try this one. Every recipe of yours I try has been yummy.
Hope you enjoy
My favorite cake. Thanks for this great recipe and tips!❤️
My moms favorite cake is carrot cake, we buy it every year for her birthday but I am going to make an attempt this year and make it myself following your recipe 😋
This cake looks amazing. Carrot Cake is my absolute favorite.
Have a blessed day. Carrot cake looks delicious.
Carrot cake is one of my favorite cakes. Thank you for the recipe and video.
I am going to make this sometime in the near future. Its my favorite cake but I'm finicky and seldom am satisfied when I get a slice somewhere. I KNOW this recipe is going to be the bomb-diggity! 🙂👍🏻👏
Sending much Aloha & hugs from Arkansas (we transplated here last yr from our long-time home in Hawaii) to you & Chris.
🤗💋🤗
Hi I made this cake today delicious thanks very much good job
Carrot cake is my absolute favorite cake. Yours looks lovely & I'll bet YUMMY🥕🥕🥕
Heaven
This looks delicious! I must try making this cake.
This looks so beautiful, decadent, and delicious. For the raisins, I would fold them in with a spatula so that the flour remains attached to the fruit. Great Holy Week dessert! 😋🙏🏻
Now this will be my go to carrot cake recipe
Yummy excellent carrot cake.
I've heard you cut 2 slices to remove the first slice. It works for pies as well as cakes. Great job. GOD BLESS YOU, Chris, and your family .
Great idea
❤ absolutely beautiful and I know it took a lot of time
That look in your eyes when you taste it is priceless!!! 💕
My favorite cake. Yummy
One of my favs… looks really good
Thank you Thank you TY! I so glad you make a carrot cake...I'm going to visit my friend for his 65th and want to make one for him so I'll follow you recipe step by step. 🌻
I just found your channel and you had me at self rising flour. I am southern girl from a family of bakers and I never heard of ap flour until leaving my Southern state. I am subscribed and now I am watching your videos instead of folding laundry.
Welcome!
Never seen a mixer like that pretty cool
Sorry I couldn’t ever use raisins! I generally switch to stewed apples for replacement of raisins. Wow I’ve never seen a mixer like yours it is ver interesting. TY for sharing your recipe
I love carrot cake. 😋
It looks so delicious I've got to make it. I love your channel. Everything you make looks fabulous.
Yummy Ms Tammy and Mr. Chris. Thank you for sharing.
That looks delicious! Lots of great tips such as freezing cakes before slicing and using a little evaporated milk in the icing!
Tammy, I just love watching you cook. Thank you for your show.
Look so good. God bless you.
My favorite cake in the world! You make an amazing cake,Tammy. 👍👍
I also like to hand shred my carrots AND I like a lighter flavor so thanks for the ginger tip. Carrot cake is my favorite too!
Looks excellent thank you
That’s a beautiful cake! I absolutely love carrot cake. I know this will be a delicious cake! You can’t beat a homemade cake.
Oh my goodness, that carrot cake looks delicious and I’m sure it is. I love watching you cook. Hi to Chris time..
This has nothing at all to do with cake. It’s just that your hair is absolutely beautiful. I love the color and it’s so shiny and clean looking.
aw this video is so homey and cozy!!!
Carrot 🥕 cake is definitely my favorite but yours looks amazingly delicious. I love people who put their heart in their cuisine.♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’ve always wanted to make my cakes pretty. You are teaching me a lot! Thank you. ❤
Thank you, watching from Maragusan Davao de Oro, Philippines. ❤
Wow that looks amazing! I’m gonna have to try this one!!! ❤Carrot cake 🎂 😋
Beautiful.. I have to say to everyone the white Lilly flour is such a good fluffy light flour I am lucky to be able to get it live in northern KY near Cincinnati.I did see a advertisement on my Facebook that Sams was going to start carrying it in the 10 lb bags.. I’m hoping that was good information…

It looks just as good as my homemade carrot cake which has won several baking awards using exactly what she uses except I use more pineapples with no juice and I make homemade cream cheese icing too. Overall, it looks delicious. Note: I love her Bosch mixer because of the wide open area until the Kitchen Aid.
Would you be able to share you exact recipe?
Lol, I was saying to myself, I've never seen that mixer before. I wonder what brand it is! Thanks!
When I was a kid.....way back in the 50's, my Mom would make me carrot cakes....my favorite cake! We always had a deal....she would make the cake, but I had to pull the carrots from the garden, peel and grate them. Sort of the same deal in the fall.....I'd pick and peel the apples and she would make the apple pies. I always considered those "deals" more than fair!
I’ve made this cake several times now and we love it. The only change I made was to leave out the raisins because we don’t care for them. It’s a very good cake and comes together easily.
Glad to hear!
Amazingly delicious 🎉
You got me again, this is Donna , the Cake looks amazing and delicious…. Have a wonderful weekend 🥰🥰👵🏻😊
I absolutely love Carrot Cake. Initially the concept of carrots in a cake was not appealing but once I got over it, I was loving my Carrot Cake. My recipe came from my Aunt who was a fantastic farm cook. Yummy.
I love to use black walnuts in my carrot cake....yours looks wonderful!
Absolutely gorgeous thank you for sharing a happy and blessed Easter!
Your channel popped up today. A coworker from the 70’s made a carrot cake for the office and the recipe looks like the recipe you use.
I made carrot cake once and it came out very dense. Yours looks very fluffy. Can’t wait to try it.
It looks nice an moist. Beautiful.
Carrott cake is my favorite cake. Even more than chocolate cake. My wife makes me a carrot cake out of the Lion House Cookbook every year on my birthday. It looks to be pretty similar to your recipe. Your cake looks delicious and almost too beautiful to cut. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Try soaking your raisins. I soak mine and they taste delicious.. During the Holidays, I soak my raisins in brandy, wine, or whatever alcohol flavor compliments my recipe at the time🤫. Aside from that, i try to soak them for at least àn hour in mildly warm water until the raisins expand. Non-raisin eaters wont notice....
Also, the last.time I made Carrot Cake, I put just a sprinkle of sweetened coconut in the batter and what a yum it was. Lastly, I use both vanilla and almond extract. Thanknyou for sharing your recipe with us. I will definitely keep and n use it as my foundation mix. Be blessed!❤
My favorite ❤️
Since my family will not eat raisins we use dried apricots. We always used raisins when I was a child. The apricots are actually good. Love your program for great recipes. Where did you purchase the measuring products? Time for new ones here.
Have a great day.
