How to Make Carrot Cake

Visit my blog at www.overthekitchencounter.com for more info on cooking and crafts.

I've had several requests to share a carrot cake recipe and I am very pleased to finally have this filmed for you. I have been making this cake for a looong time - way back before fat & calories were in the news quite so much (so it's not the healthiest!) However, it is a delectable cake so a once in a while indulgence can't be denied...enjoy! And don't forget to check out my video on Cream Cheese Frosting - the perfect way to top this moist and spicy cake!

Mmm, my Dad's been asking for a carrot cake. He keeps telling me it'd just be easier to use a box mix, but my Dad deserves better than that. XD So, how well does this cake rise and what would the cooking time happen to be if I were to put it into two round 9" pans?

[a1angiem]

@SakuraCourageSolo Yes, he definitely deserves homemade and trust me, he will loooove it (and you) so much for that! You can certainly make it in 9' pans...you could bake it for 30-35 minutes and then check it with a tester to see if it's done in the centre. If it's goopy, just give it another 5 minutes and check again. Nothing says love like home baking! :) Let me know how it all turns out!

@a1angiem FINALLY got around to making this and my Dad absolutely LOVED it! The only thing I did differently was omit the raisins because he likes to save those for his Brown Sugar Oatmeal. XD Thanks so much for a divine recipe! It was tasty, moist and had an excellent rise! Thank you, God Bless!
