It just seemed like it was time for carrot cake so I dug through the pile of ripped out old magazine pages with random recipes on them and worked off this one from Great American Home Baking –sorta.

 

PNpCC-3

I grated a bunch of carrots and used the rest in a carrot smoothie.

 

PNpCC-4

A half cup of sugar and 1/3 cup butter and beat together.

 

PNpCC-5

Then two little eggs to join them.

 

PNpCC-7

Add the milk.

 

PNpCC-8

Add dry ingredients. Don’t do like I did, the recipe says baking powder, it does not say baking soda. I think it might’ve tasted better if I’d actually used baking powder. Never mind, the deed is done and the cake is already half gone.

 

PNpCC-12

Grease the pan and pre heat the oven to 350

 

PNpCC-14

add the grated carrots

 

PNpCC-16

and raisins.

 

PNpCC-18

Pour into greased pan and bake for 40 minutes or so.

After it cools serve.
