OMG Carrot Cake
OMG Carrot Cake
The other day I just had this overwhelming need for Carrot Cake. MyGaySister is a pastry chef, she gave me this recipe and all I have to say is OMG !

COST - $5 including frosting
Time - 1 hour
Level of Difficulty 2 on a scale of 1-5

Here is how it is made...
Baking 3 Layers
In a large bowl combine...
2 cups of sugar
2 cups of sifted flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
Add...
1 1/2 cups oil
4 eggs
3 cups grated carrots
Mix till combined. You can add 1 cup of 1 or all of the following...drained crushed pineapple, coconut, nuts.
put into greased 8"or 9" pans and bake 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove and let cool completely before frosting. Do not rush it.

To Die For Cream Cheese Frosting
This frosting is a MUST for this cake. DO NOT VARY.
1 8oz package cream cheese
1 cube of soften butter
1 box powdered sugar sifted
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts [optional] for garnish
Cream butter and cream cheese, add vanilla and powdered sugar, mix til combined. Grab a spoon...it is good.



Frosting your cake
 Put a small amount of frosting between each layer and use the rest for the top and sides. I dollop a large amount to the center of the cake and work it down around the edges until it is completely frosted. Make sure to use ALL of the frosting. Take your time and feel the rhythm of the frosting. This will prevent tears and clumps.








with Vanilla Ice Cream
What could be easier. Add a scoop or two of Vanilla ice cream and have a moment to yourself. A nice glass of ice cold milk is a perfect combination.







I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
Til Later,
YourGayHusband
