Carrot cake is my go to when invited to bbq’s, family and friends for get togethers etc. Always come home with said cake demolished and very happy people! Can’t really remember ever putting frosting the middle but I’ll definitely do on my next baking day😊 much love Dave and thanks for another great, easy recipe 😋
Thank you, just the right thing for the weekend. And I did buy carrots this morning. Perfect!!!
Another brilliant video, thank you! I love carrot cake ❤
My favourite. Shered on Pinterest
Such a great vid thanks for sharing 👍
looks great!
Another great video Dave – I’ll definitely be giving this one a go – cheers from 🇦🇺
I love carrot cake. Hello from California ❤
That is worthy of the 3.95 euro that I paid for a single slice of carrot cake in our local costa coffee shop when I had a catch up coffee with my sister in law. Feels like I was robbed 😂😂. Great video as always and thanks so very much for sharing with us all your money saving recipes. Although here in Ireland we are getting ripped off. Your prices are so much lower than what we have to pay now. But aside from all that I am encouraged by you to give this a try. Looks delicious ❤
Another wonderful recipe. You don't have to be rich to enjoy the good things of life, if you follow these videos.
I like+sultans in my carrot cake.
Lovely cake, kind of gingery type isn't it ? I do like moist cakes, yum
thank you 🌷
Wonderful! Love carrot cake, last made one a week or so ago but will give yours a go next time I make one as I don't normally put any of the frosting in the middle, will try that 🙂
Does anyone know what I can substitute for the cream cheese for someone who is allergic to cheese?☺️ Thank you!
looks delicious Thank you for sharing
👍💕🥕
Definitely going to try that. Thanks, Dave ✌️
I love your kitchen. Reminds me of mine when my children were young, many decades ago. All basic pantry Staples on display. Just look and bake. I love carrot cake. All your recipes are ideal for my youngest son who is so fussy. Haven't made my traditional recipes in years. Keep cooking and I will be sitting at the table with you enjoying the meal.
That cake looks delicious, I must give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!
A lovely economical cake. I grate orange peel into my carrot cake, and put orange juice into the icing. It really elevates the taste!
❤
Fabulous Thanks 😊😊
Superb, what I like is it is not a huge cake, my present recipe makes too big a cake!
I’m going to give this a go followed by yet another ginger cake 😊 Thankyou ❤

Have you done a Bread and Butter Pudding video? There are lots of videos on here on how to make it but they are all too fancy, adding cream and lots of eggs, etc. I just want an ordinary plain old pudding like we had years ago.
