A dear work friend gave me this recipe years ago and I came across it the other day and decided to give it a go. I'm so glad I did it was so simple to make just mix and bake no fuss. Best of all with real bits of carrot they're definitely healthy too!

Cream cheese icing, how I love you! I have never made carrot cake before but have been feeling like doing some baking so maybe I'll give these a go. I do like carrot cake with LOTS of cream cheese icing.
ReplyDeleteI've decided I'm having apple pikelets for breakfast tomorrow - normal pikelet mix with an apple grated up and mixed in. Makes for lovely moist pikelets.
Also, I really think I need to get me a cake stand and cover!

Oh yum!!
ReplyDeleteYum! Will give these a go. Without the icing though, as I don't have the ingredients and... to reduce the calories :)
