Diane's Carrot Cake

"When I had my third child at 42, nurse and long time friend Diane brought in this scrumpdelicious cake for hubby and 2 teens since I would be spending a week in hospital BUT she made the mistake of leaving it with me!! Need I say more, I raved about her cake and passed out her recipe to her fellow co-workers and sent half a pan home for the gang! Then made my husband promise to bring me up another piece or two MMMMMMMMMMMM"

  1. Did not enjoy as much as other Carrot Cakes i have tryed. Too sweet for my taste. Should have less sugar (1 cup less ) or without the pineapple. If you have both, it is just way too sweet.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Update Nov 2009 - I live in Northwestern Ontario with the cold and the bugs. A baby born in each of my decade 20's 30's 40's!!! plus 2 grandsons now. I love to cook and hardly ever repeat a recipe. I never really had a fav cookbook but I now have a favorite recipe site that I am totally addicted to-RECIPEZAAR!!! I still email recipes to my own kids. My pet peeve is those folks who turn their noses up at a dish even before they try it. My family have sat at the table with a pig tail or a chicken foot on their plate just becuz I found a recipe - HAHAHa - cooking should be fun and very once in a while the dogs get a treat! I also love watching decorating shows and my husband keeps promising to put wheels on the furniture to make room arrangments easier! We don't hobby farm anymore on our 8 acres and the large veg garden has been made over - half rock garden and other half with 12 new raised cedar beds because I am getting old and the knees don't work so well. It is fabulous and will post a new cover pic altho I love my Inukshuks!! I LOVE snowshoeing and am blessed to be able to walk out my back door and enjoy.
