Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

I just remembered that I haven't updated for weeks now. Haha. I've been busy baking in my kitchen since I'm starting to introduce my line of cakes. So I need to have some taste tests that's what's been keeping me up from blogging. Aside from that, I'm just a pure lazy girl who didn't want to update.

So I made this cake three times already, one for my taste test, another one for my mom's bff's her taste test and finally my mom's bff's order for her client's birthday. She works in a bank so yeah, I hope in the future, I could sell a lot of cakes.

I found this recipe on the food magazine I bought a few days ago, and my mom told me to try and make this recipe. So I made it last Sunday and it turns out really yummy. The only problem is, if you have no experience in baking and you just trust what the recipe says you'd be tricked. Since the magazine says that you bake the cake for 35 minutes, when I checked mine it's still a batter. I set my timer for another ten minutes, it's still the same, I did this three times until it became a cake and has cooked thoroughly. So it took about 1 hour and 5 minutes for the cake to bake perfectly. So yeah, those inexperienced bakers will be frustrated and won't try baking again since they give some false time. I think it depends on the oven or I think they purposely did that? I have no idea. But be careful!

Another thing is that the frosting requires a pound of powedered sugar, when I looked at it and thought about it for quite sometime I decided it's too sweet. I lessened the sugar content which is good since my mom said it's a little bit sweet but all in all it's good. So yeah, my judgement is right. So people, be always careful when measuring or just dumping all the ingredients all together, try to think the amount given and try to analyze if it will become too sweet or not. That's all! You can substitute any nuts as a topping, I prefer Hazelnuts, since I love hazelnuts. :D

So that's it for now. Wait for my next entry. I'm baking/cooking up something in the kitchen again. I might post it one of these days!
