Food in Process: Carrot cake
Say "hurray" for carrot cake! This spicy and
moist cake is truly one of my favorite indulgences.
If you re-think about it, carrot cakes are pretty healthy
as well. Well if you leave out the thick layer of
creamcheese of course.
This is my first carrot cake in muffin shape and they
tasted not bad! I love how rich and moist the dough were
with the crunchy nuts! For the next time I'm going to
add a little bit more sugar and I think to add coconut
to it as well! Mhmm, I can't wait!
