My love for Carrot Cake

Carrot Cake can seem like a task you not willing to tackle but its one you should try atleast once a year. Yes once a year.

Carrot cake is easy to make with the children when each of them are assigned a task. Children are naturally curious as to what mum is making and always want to hold or roll something when you in the greatest hurry.

The recipe below is the recipe I use fro carrot cake

2 Cups Grated carrots
1 cup of chopped nuts of your choice
(you can use pecan and pistatios or walnuts)

1/4 Pound butter
