Would y'all have used pecans like my grandma or walnuts like me?

One of the many things I love about Paula is that her recipes are simple. No unnecessary expensive ingredients or restaurant cook and bakeware. She's not pretentious and represents the best of everyday home cooks. Love her!

We thank her too, Paula! Without her....we would not have you!! Love ya'll! Happy Easter! He is risen! God bless!

Paula, we have a tradition of making a cake in the shape of a lamb for Easter because Jesus was the Lamb that was slain for us. I agree about the walnuts and raisins in carrot cake. Happy Easter to you and your family! He is Risen indeed!

This was my husband‘s favorite cake I sure do miss making them he’s been gone for 14 years and haven’t made one sense

'Gammy'...I haven't heard anyone call their grandma that since I left home when I was 16. i'm 61 now...and how that brought back memories.

Love, your layers were sliding (as well as the icing oozing out between the layers) b/c there wasn't enough XXXX sugar whipped in. Most Cream Cheese frostings use 4 C sugar to 1/2 C butter and ONE pkg cream cheese. Your extra CC block would require at least 3 and even 4 more cups sugar to hold up to the heavier carrot cake layers and 3 layers stacked. My Mom always cut our cakes in slices like that - 7 kids. I never saw wedges of cut cake until I married. And my MIL used to toothpick her cakes too so this gave us a great chuckle!

You can run nuts through flour to keep em from sticking to bottom of the 🍰 😉

Toasted pecans, golden raisins and a small can of drained pineapple tidbits. And !00% agree "Ginny's" love makes all the difference in a little one's life. Their precious laughter is the very sound of Heaven to me. Happy Easter everybody and God bless and keep you.

This reminds me of the first time I made a carrot cake using my great grandmother's recipe. I had to keep changing bowls because there were so many ingredients. I think the recipe called for 5 cups of carrots. 😯 I finally got the cake mixed up and then went on a hunt for baking pans. I finally ended up with 5 pans of different shapes and sizes. I baked a lot growing up but had never encountered a recipe like this one. My great grandmother lived back in the day when they worked a farm and there were a lot of people working long hard days and they were fed well at the end of the day. This carrot cake was probably designed to feed a hungry crowd. I really don't remember how I finally got rid of the huge cake. I'm sure I shared it with a lot of people. 😉 Thanks for this trip down memory lane! ☺️ I don't make carrot cake much anymore. Sometimes I'll buy a single piece at the grocery store. 😋 Thanks for sharing another great video! 🥰

I use walnuts in mine and a small can of crushed pineapple. Your cake looks so delicious! I love carrot cake. ♥️😊😊

I love carrot cake. And I remember you telling us years ago that a cake recipe with plenty of oil makes a moist cake. I sometimes like adding pineapple to this cake too. Yum

I love Carrot Cake. I made one last weekend. I made 2 layers that I put in the freezer and made 6 cupcakes. I frosted the cupcakes and they were so good. The frosting is what makes a Carrot Cake so good. I have 2 layers in the freezer that I can use later, just make the frosting. I had never thought about just putting the nuts in the cake instead of the frosting. I had bought some baby carrots to put in a beef roast, and had just enough for my carrot cake. Food is sure too expensive to waste. Thank you Paula, love all your recipes. You are amazing. Years ago, I watched you make your own vanilla flavoring, and I make my own vanilla flavoring out of Grey Goose Vodka and vanilla beans. It is so good. I have not bought vanilla flavoring in years. When I saw how you cut your cake, I got tears in my eyes, My sweet mother used to cut cakes like that too. Brought back so many memories of her, Holidays are still hard without her, but I have my memories to cherish in my heart forever. Paula, you and my mother are the only ladies I have seen that cuts cake like that. You always bring back special memories of my mother.

This cake is absolutely delicious! I’ve been making it for over 10 yrs now 👍🏽 I just cut the sugar instead of 2 cups I use 1 1/2 cup. Freshly grated carrots make all the difference and canola oil! Absolutely the best carrot cake recipe out there..

I love you so very much Paula. Thanks for sharing your sweet Granny's carrot cake recipe with us...it looks delicious

Miss Paula, Thank you for sharing not only the recipe but memories which is the only thing I have left. My beloved husband passed a year and half ago and not a day goes by that I don't grieve for him...He and my son, my mother and father, my sister...so many loved ones gone...so the holidays are bittersweet but I have beautiful memories. I was BLESSED and I thank God for what he gave me.. But when you have been blessed like we were, the sorrow goes so deep.. I will make this cake, sit down with a cup of coffee (even my cup of coffee doesn't taste the same without him) But I will find comfort in my memories...

I love you Paula! You’re my favorite cook hands down . Cooking would not be the same without you !

Paula Dean, You are a true Southern Lady and an awesome cook. I love you and your recipes. Thank you for sharing your videos. I always look forward to them. God Bless You & Your Family.

I feel so very lucky to have found Paula’s channel ❤️❤️❤️

Paula you are such a dream love watching and learning from you. Thank you for sharing with us. You’re family is lucky and blessed to be related to you. May God Bless you!

Paula, I make a Carrot Cake too. I leave out the raisins though, and also add Pecans to mine. I bake one and bring to Country singer Crystal Gayle every time I see her. She adores my Carrot cake and I'm so blessed. I've made it for my church staff and many friends and family throughout the years. Carrot cake is my FAVORITE to make. Simple easy and soo sooooo good....!

looks soooo great. thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us. loves seeing the triplets on the easter egg hunt and that boy and his love for the motorcycle just was the cutest thing ever! really brightened my morning. love Robin in Detroit

Looks fantastic….I’ll be making this for Easter💕🌷💕

Beautiful cake! The recipe I use calls for a small can of crushed pineapple. ❤️

Miss Paula, this Carrot Cake recipe of your Grandmother’s is the very best. I’ve made it for years and everyone who has some says the very same thing! Best frosting too! Thank you so very much for sharing.🧡🥕

Paula, you've got me craving walnuts! It makes the cake topping so pretty too.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Old fashioned classic carrot cake. Too many modern recipes over-complicate the cake and it comes out too sticky sweet. This looks perfect!

Happy Easter Paula. and to everyone watching this wonderful video.

Paula your awesome,love watching your KZfaq videos, I’m making this recipe tomorrow thank you for sharing your recipe with us .👏🏼👏🏼👍✌️🙏🏽🇵🇷

Beautiful job Paula, you are a true artist, so talented and gifted. Thanks for sharing your talent. Hope you have a Happy Easter.

I would use pecans because that is my mom's version of a classic carrot cake. One of my absolute favorites!!! Thank you Mrs.Paula!!!

Walnuts all the way for this girl! Cake looks fab. Love cream cheese frosting. Thanks and Happy Easter to all.

carrot cake is my very favorite cake and I have a grandchild that loves it too! Thank You Paula for this recipe.

This is my go to carrot cake.

Dearest Paula you have inspired me to use your recipe for our Easter dessert. I wish you and your family a blessed Holy weekend. You are a treasure.

Oh my goodness Paula that looks heavenly! My gramma would sometimes add mini chocolate chips to her carrot cake for a little extra goodness. I know it sounds a lil off-putting but it was sooo delicious. Thank you for sharing your grandmother's recipe with us. Happy Easter to you and your family! 🐇🐥🥕🍰💜

Love this cake Ms Paula Deen going to do this for Easter. Happy Easter to you and your family.

Paula, I made this for the very first time tonight for the fam, and we all LOVED it. Thank you! :)

Looks delicious 😋 and Happy Easter 🐰🐇🐣 to you and your family

Looks so good I am going to make it.Yum

Yummy yumy Paula Deen. Happy Easter to you. Now I am going to make your Grandmama's Carrot Cake for our Easter. Thank you.💙🙋‍♀️☺️

If babies aren’t going to be where I take my cake for dessert, I soak my raisins in rum…so good when you bite into a juicy raisin. Thanks Paula, I can’t wait to try your grand momma’s carrot cake. Also I’m crazy for walnuts also. Now my sister has big ole pecan trees around her home; we go over and pick up sacks of those beautiful pecans. So I would use those free nuts considering the price of nuts these days. What everyone does is give my sister the same amount they are taking. So if you pick up two large paper sacks, you take one and give her one on up to however many you are willing to pick up…hot soak in the jacuzzi for my back afterwards for sure. My husband sits watching TV, cracking the nut shells and getting the nuts out. Again, thanks Paula.

Paula my friend who reminds me of you..she makes carrot cake with carrot juice.ive never seen a receipe calling for carrot juice.but the cake is very good and moist. Your receipe sounds really good..I will make this for Easter.

running out for carrots now so i can make it for easter !! happy holy week !!,🐰🙏✝️

Another fun visit with you in your kitchen. We have loved you since the beginning. We watch what you’re up to every day. Love and best dishes to you this time 🌸🍃PS Walnuts

My favorite cake. Thanks Paula

That’s so funny you posted this today. This is the exact recipe I was planning on making for Easter this year. I actually like it how grandma did it without the raisins and with pecans. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it 😁.

I’d imagine most of the audience to these videos are American women over 40. And here I am a Welsh, 18 year old bloke 😂

this looks so yummy yum yum! I love carrot cake like this, gotta have raisins and nuts(with pecans tho I'm allergic to walnuts)

Delicious Thank you for sharing Paula have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏

I keep saying I am going to try a carrot cake but never do. I WILL give this one a try. Thank you for posting. Best wishes to you and your family.

I have never made a carrot cake nor ever have I made a three tier cake but I am going to give this one a try…..right after I buy a third round cake pan😊 Love you Paula❤️

Happy Easter you make it look yummy and easy. I'm gonna try this. I love raisins too. 🙂

Paula! So similar to my Grandma Haney’s recipe. I think hers had pineapple instead of raisins. I prefer walnuts over pecans. I love carrot cake!! Thank you for sharing!!

My mama always makes a jack Daniels carrot cake it's incredible as I'm sure yours is too! We use crushed pineapple and pecans and yes of course that cream cheese frosting is the best for all carrot cakes ❤. Love ya paula watched you ever since I was a little girl xxx

I have made this 3 or 4 times,,,,it is The Best Carrot Cake ever!

Carrot cake is so yummy , both pecans and walnuts are so delicious Happy easter to ur family from our family🐣🐇🍰

I prefer to 'Plump' my Raisins with either Dark Rum or Bourbon (for better flavor).

Hi Paula 👋yummy yummy my is favourite cake and she make the best one this is perfect for Easter or for someone's birthday🎂🥕💛🧡🖤👍👍🤟🤟

Wow! I love a good carrot cake. Planning on making one on Saturday night. My recipe is very similar to this but has pineapple tidbits in it. You use a small can of pineapple and mix it with the carrots and raisins at the very beginning, (about 30 minutes before adding) By the time you mix'em in, the raisins and carrots are all plumped up and hydrated. So good.

That's my favorite Carrot cake. 😋

Oh Yasss! U after my Heart💜 I Love Carrots Cake🍰

hey ms paula deen i have a cake recipe for you its called coconut lemon spice cake twist i think you wood love it ms paula

My mom would also add pineapple so I do that as well with a sprinkle of coconut in the cream cheese icing. I love toasted walnuts in the cake with raisins

My Favorite Cake For Easter😋

I’m going to try this cake
