It was L's birthday last week and I wanted to bake something for his wonderful staff. You see, last year was a rough year for him initially. That was until he went looking for greener pastures and some of his staff members and a good friend joined him. They are wonderful people, who contributed largely to the rest of his year being so much better. A little bit of cake went their way as a small token of thanks. And of course it is always nice to share in a bit of birthday magic.
It is never easy for me to decide what to bake. I have a million recipes (well, L does say that I can exaggerate, but not sure I am though) floating through my head and finding THE ONE is always a bit of a mental tug of war. It was my sister who helped me out by casually suggesting carrot cake. It always seems to be a winner and why not.
Well, it did go down a treat, especially the icing and therefor a post is required, as the recipe was requested. I love it when that happens. Love to spread cake happiness around.
This is the sort of recipe that needs to be shared, as it is so easy-peasy. And it takes hardly any time to prepare and leaves you with very little washing-up to do. Best of all, it is light and moist and not too rich either.
