Carrot cake

Carrot Cake

So over our post BBQ cocktails we flicked through cook books to find a cake to make as my friend decided I should make her a cake, or was it 'you haven't made me a cake in a while' I can't quite remember. She decided that she wanted a carrot cake I made the same cake for her Birthday and I guess she loved it so much she wanted more. This is a carrot cake I made from the Hummingbird Bakery cook book.

Tier of carrot cake

 The recipe calls for three tiers to this cake but I only have two cake tins, even though my oven is now fixed because of the increased thickness of this tier it took almost double the baking time. Umm this looks ummy, the cake was a bit soggy in my opinion so next time I make this for my friend as I think it is inevitable, I might alter the recipe slightly, or buy another cake tin.

I think it is important to point out that after our cocktails my friend was a tad tired (or hungover), for the day and she cancelled our tennis plans, she was however up for the carrot cake and got out of bed especially for it. Now that's friendship isn't it.
