What is your favorite dessert and recipe?

Homemade Carrot Cake w/ homemade frosting. I make it for my husband every year for his B-Day he absolutely loves it!


Mix together:


2 cups of flour


2 teaspoons baking soda


2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt


2 teaspoons cinnamon


dash of nutmeg


dash of allspice


dash of ginger


1 3/4 cup sugar (plain white reg sugar)


1 cup vegetable oil


4 eggs


2 cups grated carrots ( I find sticking them in a blender is quickest just dont put a whole lot in at once)





Pour batter into 2 layer cake pans or 1 large one. Bake at 350 for aprx. 30 mins. Cake is done when top is golden brown and u insert a toothpick and no batter clings, crumbs are OK.





Now what makes it truly delicous is the frosting....


1 Cup butter (2 Sticks)


2 pkgs cream cheese


1 pound confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar)


1 Tablespoon Vanilla





Mix together soft ingredients first (it helps to mic the cream cheese first), then slowly add powdered sugar





Cool off cake in fridge when its done cooking for about 10-15 mins than top it off with the frosting.


It will be the tastiest carrot cake you've ever had, GUARANTEED!!!What is your favorite dessert and recipe?
