e_phemerartI'm baking a carrot cake tonight (happy birthday to me) and am hoping I guessed ok on tweaking the recipe a bit. The batter seemed a bit thin when I poured it into the pans, and I'm also pouty now that I didn't think to add any of my favorite chopped dates along with the carrots and raisins, but it seems to be baking all right.* Think I'll go for a white chocolate-cream cheese frosting.
*Later edit: No frosting yet. I'll do that on Monday; once it finishes cooling, the cake is going in the freezer til then. But I did have a dessert sample of the cake while it was still warm from the oven, where I had to remove a portion of the top layer to level it. It's not quite rich enough to be oh-my-gods gourmet carrot cake, but it is tasty. :)
Yes, of course, I have a funky idea for how to decorate it! I'll post pics if it turns out.

The second pic is from the cool Devout Dolls site I cited a couple of posts back, but I guess maybe for the cake the dollies should be carrot-tops?
