Books & Spoons Recipe for CARROT CAKE

So the nasty flu virus that has been going around since Christmas attacked this household last weekend and is not giving up the fight easily.

I had great plans for cooking and baking this week, but with the fever raging making the carrot cake didn't happen instead I was thankful for the yogurt and bananas to eat when I had the energy for it.

​But I made the cake during the holidays as well, so I got a picture of it from the Christmas album, sort of. 



So instead of cooking and eating well this week, it was more like gallons of fresh ginger tea with lemon and honey, and crackers with the meds. When I finally got hungry I realized I have to first cook the meal and then rest to eat it. Hah. Great planning is like half done. So on Wednesday evening, I made a stir-fry and couscous, both ready in minutes and easy to quickly heat up when needed even without micro way oven.

But I will share with you the carrot cake recipe. It is a twist on the banana bread recipe I shared with you before in November, and I have fallen in love with it because it is tasty, delicious, moist, and easy to make without any kitchen machinery. I make an icing for it with a mix of cream cheese and Mascarpone and a little bit of powdered sugar. The end result - fantastic! I hope you enjoy it and I truly hope y'all are doing better than this household right now :D
