Carrot Cake!
Today I had a day off and decided it would be a perfect day to have a baking day. I was sent a carrot cake recipe and decided to make it. I am trying to bake things I have not baked before and carrot cake would be one of them. Firstly, I made sure I had all the ingredients. I had all but one...oil, but do not fear you can substitute oil with butter. I began to make the batter which is a very simple basic batter. As usual, I prefer to combine all my dry and wet ingredients separately. Sugar, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in one bowl. Wet ingredients in another bowl carrot, raisins, and or walnuts. The recipes instructs to add raisins or walnuts, in the cake I made decided to add the cup of raisins as well as a handful of walnuts. However, I must say the icing on the cake made it. The light taste of cream cheese compliments the carrot, raisins and walnut flavour. You can also make this cake into muffins just by putting the batter in muffin pans. This cake was fantastic! I would highly recommend you try this cake you will love it!
