The other day I decided I really wanted to make a carrot cake, so for once I made a cake without using a Betty Crocker box. I found this recipe on epicurious:
But as usual I changed it a bit, only because I couldn’t actually find all of the ingredients at my local Japanese grocery store. I couldn’t find any of the coconut flavored things, so the frosting is just cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar, but it was plenty tasty, and I also only made a third of the amount of frosting the recipe called for. Of course, I only made a one-layered cake (I actually made two, but there’s just one in the picture) as opposed to the three layers in the recipe. There is no room in my fridge for chilling the cake so I just put the frosting on as is, so it’s a bit melty but really tasty. All in all, this cake was delicious, although it’s really hard to bake it correctly in my poor excuse for an oven. I imagine this would be awesome if baked in a proper oven!
This was definitely more of a production than most of my easy recipes, but it was made much simpler thanks to the food processor I got for Christmas! Those carrots were done in seconds!
