carrot cake





I have been very busy packing up for the new house.. just thinking, i wont be having any time to bake anything. But my mind keeping thinking abt the carrot cake recipe tat i have just print out from office and its in my office bag. So I was checking out the fridge, and wah lah.. carrot at the edge of the fridge.. haha.. and i was digging out all the ingredient needed for the carrot cake. And I was lazy to fix the cake mixer.. so i just hand whisk.. yes.. manually.. hahahaha.. i m at the super lazy stage but still wanna bake it.. Planned to use half of the ingredient, but my mind is half functioning, end up using the complete ingredient.. so was thinking.. wat the heck.. just go ahead and try an error. here are my recipe...

2 tsp baking powder

1 1./2 tsp cinnamon powder

3 cup grated carrot


Directions:

Mix dry ingredient; add oil and blend. Add one egg at a time and keep on mixing with my spactula. Add carrots and nuts and mixed all together. Rub some butter on the cake pan ( i used a rectangular size - 13X9) or round pan..

bake for 45 minutes at 170 deg cel. Take out from the oven. let it cool and cut in half before putting the cream cheese frosting.


cream cheese frosting :

1 pack of cream cheese-25og (at room temperature)
