Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting
Paula has been real busy in the kitchen lately.
Ingredients:
The cheese frosting from Cream Cheese can actually be used on any cake so it would be in place to remember it and put that away for any cake as well. It does make the cake a "milk" cake for Kosher people, but still it sounds delicious (and fattening as well!). Of course this gets 3-stars for difficulty though it is not an overwhelming chore. Enjoy.
This is an easy recipe and don’t be surprised if the sides stick to the pan. I run a hot knife around the sides several times before attempting to transfer it to a cake dish. Also note for some reason this cake tends to sink in the middle which you can hide with frosting.
