Carrot Cake
Carrot Cake Recipe
This is not a family favorite per say, but it is one of my family's most requested flavors of cake. My dad had a carrot cake for his 80th birthday also just last week my sister Anita turned 50 and she had carrot cake at her birthday. I think if I remember correctly the first birthday cake I baked for my new family was a carrot cake....now the kids come up with all sorts of ideas for their cake. Chocolate peanut butter. Cherry, lemon cake, I never know what they might request. For my step daughters birthday in September I attempted to make a four layer cake. It did come out fine so who knows one of the kids might request a 5 layer cake next. I'm not afraid to attempt it because I know however it turns out they will eat it.....I have a family that really likes there sweets.
