Stir with a wooden spatula until smooth. Pour into a loaf pan, whose sides and bottom were previously buttered. Cook for about 65 min. on the lowest rack of the oven, preheated at 180 Celsius (350 F). After 50 min., you can "plant" little marzipan carrots in a row on the top of the cake. Cool down. Enjoy. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ * A friend of mine here at work makes the most outrageous carrot cake I've ever tasted. Her name is Lynn and here's her recipe: 3 c all-purpose flour 2 1/2 c sugar 1 tbs. baking soda 1 tbs. cinnamon 1 tsp. salt 4 large eggs 1 1/2 c salad oil 1 tsp. vanilla extract 2 c packed shredded carrots 2 c chopped walnuts 1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple (w/juice) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 10-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl with a spoon, mix flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/cake/carrot-cake/carrot-cake-coll.html (3 of 17) [12/17/1999 10:44:39 AM] Carrot Cakes : COLLECTION In a small bowl, with a fork, beat eggs slightly. Stir in salad oil and vanilla extract. Stir egg mixture, shredded carrots, walnuts and crushed pineapple into flour mixture just until flour is moistened. Pour batter into pans. Bake 40-45 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Cool cake in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove cake from pans; cool completely on racks. When cake is cool, frost with Creamy Cheese Frosting (below). Creamy Cheese Frosting In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat 12 oz packages of cream cheese (softened), 1/2 c butter (softened), 1 tbs. lemon juice and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually beat in 5 1/2 c confectioners' sugar until smooth. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ * This sounds a lot like something I make that I simply call "Trash Cake." Basically, I take a carrot cake recipe and then start adding to it. Usually I'll toss in some nuts, raisins, shredded coconut and crushed pineapple (and anything else you can think of will probably be good too).
