This recipe is one of my favorite one. Any time I make it I impress my guest.Carrot cake is an old fashion recipe but it is still on many people’s favorite’s desert list.


Carrot Cake Ingredients:
1 cup of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1 cup of white sugar
2 eggs
3 oz vegetable oil
1/2 cup of crushed pineapple
1 cup of grated carrots
1/4 cup of chopped nuts
1/4 cup of dry raisins
Cream Cheese Icing

1 1/2 tbsp of butter
1/2 cup of icing sugar
4 oz of Philadelphia cream cheese (do not use the cream cheese spread)
1 tbsp of vanilla
Directions : Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Grease the pan with butter and coat with flour. Mix the dry ingredients (flour,baking powder,salt,baking soda and the sugar).Set aside.

Mix the wet ingredients as follow. Beat the white of the egg until firm.Add the yolks, egg, drained pineapple, carrots and the chopped nuts and the dry raisins.

Incorporate the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients in the oven at 350F for 50 to 60 minutes.

One time I just decided that I am going to change the shape of the cake and I added some pineapple at the bottom of the pan and on the sides and really liked the way it turned out.See image below.Notice that I did not use any icing as well.
