Carrot Cake




Today, had the chance to bake carrot cake without the proper equipment, e.g. measuring cup and mixer. Wasn't very used to the convection oven, resulting in slightly burnt but nicely crisp top surface. Although I have reduced the amount of icing sugar for the frosting, it is still very very sweet, could further reduce the amount of icing sugar in the frosting.

Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups finely shredded carrots
1 cup oil
4 eggs

Icing:
1 package cream cheese
1/2-1 cup butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 1/2 cups of powdered sugar

Instructions:
1. Mix dry cake ingredients
2. Add carrots, oil and eggs
3. Stir till all is wet
4. Put in greased and floured pan
5. Bale at 180C for 55 minutes
6. Cool
7. Cream together cream cheese, butter, vanilla and icing sugar.
8. Spread over cooled cake

    What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
