If I see carrot cake with cream cheese frosting on a restaurant menu, there is no doubt about it...I'm ordering it! So I was really excited to finally make my own in a cupcake! Martha's recipe was generally easy... but the most tedious part ( and i mean TEDIOUS!) was grating the carrots. It took me about 30 minutes to grate 3 carrots...(maybe I need a new grater...or stronger arms lol)I found this cake light, (both in texture and colour) as some carrot cakes can be pretty heavy! But I found this blended well with the richness of the cream cheese frosting.
I even left half of them naked (without frosting) and ate them as muffins in the morning!
Sayks Rating:
Difficulty: *** (mostly due to the carrot grating!lol)
Taste: **** (with and without frosting!)
Appearance: ** (loved the light colour, but simple)
Occasions: with icing; desert, brunch. Naked; breakfast!
Deliciousness confirmed. Unlike my wife, I would NEVER order a carrot cake in a restaurant. However, I ate 3 with frosting and 4.5 without. My waistline grows with the success of SayksCakes.
