Let's Bake! // Carrot Cake

Hi all!!!

As promised, this is now week 2 of my Let's Bake Blogs!!

The lemon and poppy seed friands I made last week went down an absolute treat at home. Meaning I ate 2 and Craig decided to snaffle the rest! He's a friand monster!!

So this week the baking challenge was carrot cake!!
Now please bear in mind I am not a great fan of carrot cake and have never made one in my life. But it turned out amazingly well!!

The sponge was fragrant and soft with just the right amount of spice and the frosting on top was creamy and fluffy.

There isn't really much else to say regarding this recipe. The quantities were spot on and the finished product was lovely with a nice cup of tea.

The finished article!!!

Now there is a great chance that the soft cheese frosting could have been a little stiffer, however I think as it was a little softer, the finished cake gives the appearance of american iced cupcakes which is sort of cute! I opted not to fill the middle of the cake with the frosting as my mum does not eat frosting and I really wanted her to try some. Luckily, the cake was really nice and moist and so the sponge did not go dry or taste clarty! 

If you are looking for a gorgeous carrot cake recipe than this one is definitely a hit with me! 

What shall I bake next week guys?

Leave me a comment down below with your suggestions and i'll be sure to comment and try and make as many as I can in the upcoming weeks!
