Picky Eater's Carrot Cake

"I loved this carrot cake recipe that I got out of an old magazine that I found in the attic and I tried it and I figured out that my family (mostly picky eaters) didn't like raisins or nuts so I tried leaving them out and well it turned out perfect and you can definitely top it off with some cream cheese frosting :) This Carrot Cake is so moist and yummy and you can add your own special ingredients to it :) I made them into cupcakes for a bakesale and they turned out great!"

directions

  • Wisk dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Combine sugar and oil. Add eggs. Mix well. Add grated carrots. Scrape bowl and mix well again.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and slowly mix until combined. Add ground coconut. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9x9 square cake pan.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 - 30 minutes until the cake tests done (about 155 degrees in the middle). When cool, spread with your favorite cream cheese frosting.
  • If you want to add 1/4 cup ground raisins and 1/4 cup ground walnuts, you can. Add these in with the coconut.
  • Try to use real cinnamon. That stuff you buy at the store isn't usually real cinnamon. It should say cinnamomus cassia on the container. If it says something else, it is a cinnamon imposter. It tastes ok, but the real stuff tastes very much better!

I live in Bahrain, a really small country in the middle east and I think small is perfect! I love to cook as its my way to fun and its a great way to give! My favorite cookbook? I definitely say Giada's Kitchen! I am a NIG Giada De Laurentiis fan! I have a passion for food and desserts and the kitchen ofcourse I love shopping and clothes and DREAM about majoring in nutrition! My biggest pet peeve is lots of noise or letting someone's hopes down....its best to follow your dreams than have someone interrupt them for you =) My favorite dish is the Chicken Alfredo Pasta EASY and FAMOUS and just right! Im famous for cupcakes! I am a big cupcake fan and try many new ways to make new versions of them! I do all sorts of frostings and use marzipan to make the weirdest things!! My favorite restaurant is going to be TGI fridays! i KNOW that I had to go for something better than that but I love their food!!
