I'm crazy about ....



My craze of carrot cake has never decrease since day 1. That is also the reason why I'm standing on my toes to do the next experiment in a lab called kitchen. This is of my favourite :

Carrot & Walnut Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Topping

Roast 200-300gm walnut, chunk it

Grate 4 medium carrots (about 75-100gm each), set aside

Sift 2 cups of all purpose flour with 1 tsp baking powder and 11/2 tsp sodium bicarbonate together with 2 tsp cinnamon powder in a bowl - set aside

Beat 4 eggs until smooth and light - till it forms peak in another bowl

Pour in 1 cup of icing sugar, beat again in high speed for about 2-3 mins

Pour in steady stream 1 cup of canola oil, add in 1 tsp vanilla essence

Mix well with the flour sifted, add in the walnut and grated carrot

Pour in a greased tin (8"x8"), bake at 180C for 50 mins.

Once done, cool it on the cooling rack

Sift 3/4 cup icing sugar, put 250g cream cheese in a bowl, add in 1 tsp vanilla essence and 1 tsp lemon paste. Beat till well incorporated. Ice the cake.
