HOMEMADE CAKE RELEASE: https://cakesbymk.com/recipe/homemade... INGREDIENTS (I recommend using gram measurements): Carrot Cake 2 cups (225 g) finely grated carrots - about 3 medium sized carrots 1 cup (190 g) crushed canned pineapple - with the liquid removed 2¼ cups (290 g) flour - regular all purpose (see note 1 on blog if you want to use cake flour) ¼ cup (30 g) cornstarch - also known as cornflour 2 tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 2½ tsp cinnamon - ground 1¾ tsp ginger - ground/powdered ¼ tsp cloves - ground ½ tsp nutmeg - ground 1½ cups (300 g) soft brown sugar - firmly packed (see note 2 on blog) 3 large eggs - room temperature 1 cup (200 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola 3 tsp vanilla essence/extract ½ cup (110 g) yoghurt - unsweetened, regular not Greek (low fat Greek yoghurt is okay). Room temperature. 1 cup (100 g) pecans or walnuts - coarsely chopped. I like to use both so I use 1/2 a cup of each. Bake at 160 °C (320°F) with the fan on for 35 minutes. If your oven doesn't have a fan option, then you will need to increase the baking temperature to 175°C (347°F). Cream Cheese Buttercream 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter - room temp 4½ cups (570 g) icing/confectioners sugar - use more for a thicker frosting (see note 1 on blog) 1½ cups (335 g) cream cheese - cold, firm type (see note 2 on blog) 1½ tsp vanilla essence/extract 1½ tbsp lemon juice - must be fresh ------------------------------------------------------------- BAKING ESSENTIALS: Cake Tins (8x3-inch) - https://amzn.to/3rb85Z1 Hand Mixer - https://amzn.to/447UW1A Whisks - https://amzn.to/3Xt8dPL Electronic Kitchen Scale - https://amzn.to/44muoJB Glass Mixing Bowls - https://amzn.to/44bohIw Spatulas - https://amzn.to/46w1UPe Measuring Spoons & Cups - https://amzn.to/3Xv0oc4 Cake Release - https://amzn.to/3XwEs0k Pastry Brush - https://amzn.to/447USim NICE-TO-HAVE: KitchenAid Stand Mixer - https://amzn.to/3Nz23c1 Cake Stand - https://amzn.to/3CVjpLi Food Processer - https://amzn.to/3prTMP9 Immersion Blender - https://amzn.to/3ptjuCZ CAKE DECORATING ESSENTIALS: Offset Spatula - https://amzn.to/3qZPKxS Piping Bags - https://amzn.to/3CRGKxp Piping Tips - https://amzn.to/3NTZ8Mv Cake Scraper - https://amzn.to/3plroOV Steel Turntable - https://amzn.to/3JAG4Ag Cake Boards - https://amzn.to/3CR8DG7 ------------------------------------------------------------- SHOP MY COURSES HERE: = Layer Cake From Scratch: Ultimate Beginners Guide to Cake Decorating - https://bit.ly/36HQv4p = How to Make a Professional Wedding Cake From Home - https://bit.ly/354TMdM = Mousse Cake From Scratch: Patisserie Style - https://bit.ly/3JCRxNM OR Get access to my COURSES on Skillshare and receive an extended FREE TRIAL by signing up with this link: https://www.skillshare.com/en/r/profi... ------------------------------------------------------------- Blog: https://www.cakesbymk.com/ Instagram:   / cakesbymk.nz   Facebook:   / cakesbymk.nz   Music: YouTube Audio Library (Papov - Yung Logos) If you enjoy my content, then please subscribe and don't forget to turn on the notification bell so that you're updated whenever I upload a new video :) Disclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase :) Thanks for watching!
