I am planning on making this cake tonight. Do I use the zest of an entire orange and lemon? Or is there a specific amount I should use? Also, regarding the frosting, I have vanilla bean paste - how much should I use?

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe Rob. I made this recipe for my work thanksgiving potluck and it was a crowd pleaser! In a sea of desserts that were brought in, this cake was practically demolished. The balance of the flavors and the fluffiness of the cake was superb. Who knew pumpkin and carrot went so well together. I'll definitely be making this again!

Hi Camila! I just made this cake this week - you will have enough for three 9 " layers. I made two 6" layers, and three 4" layers, all which were about 1.5" tall. hope this helps!

Hello ! This cake looks amazing, is it okay to make day before ?

I would bake it day before and make the praline ahead but do the frosting day of and top with walnut praline before serving

Hi Rob! Can’t wait to make this for my fam 🤍 quick question -- how do I get three layers from the 9-inch pan? Is it enough batter to fill three 9-inch pans or am I using two 9-inch pans and cutting one cake in half?

Thank you so much!

So excited bc bf and I were in love with the cake from the pop-up!! (Esp the frosting/cream!) and we were so sad when we were done with our little take-home leftover portion.

Cheers to more delicious pump-carrot cakes being made at home across nyc!
