I made this cake last night, in a larger pan so it came out flatter (but bigger). I also replaced the cream cheese with a low fat cheese (5%) and only applied a thin layer. The cake came out delicious, very moist and as proof my guests all but finished it.

My regular carrot cake is a recipe by Delia Smith, which comes out a bit more fluffy which I like, so it’ll be a problem deciding which to make from now on.

Thanks ,lior

Amazing recipe! But I did replace the oil with low-fat organic yogurt. Also it is so simple to make homemade butter with a pint of cream in a kitchen aid before hand. It only takes 10 minutes, then place it in cheese cloth and squish out any liquid. It will equal 8 Tablespoons of butter. It makes the frosting so pure tasting. So worth the extra step! My family is a fan of Carrot Cake and this recipe is so clean and simple. Tastes like a trip to Paris (minus the flight tickets) Thank you!

gs, it should serve 8-10 people. It is only one layer, but it’s quite thick, so the slices are substantial. I hope you make, and enjoy, it!

how many people would your version serve? it’s basically a one-layer cake, right?

Hi, what happened to the 1 stick of butter? Did you use it for the frosting?
Thanks!

I don’t know about the London store, but Rose Bakery in Paris was one of my favorite stops in the city (food-related or otherwise). Their coffee was not great (they’re English…), but lunch was incredible and as visually stunning as it was tasty.

I can say that this was honestly the best carrot cake I have ever had. It took all the things I have wanted from carrot cake in the past and it just got them right. The balance of the frosting with the spiciness of the cake combined with a dense cake made for a real treat.
