Best Homemade Carrot Cake Recipe With Cream Cheese Icing

Published by under Cakes / Desserts

Preheat oven to  350 degrees

1 cup of white sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. of baking soda

1 tsp. of  salt

1 tsp. of baking powder

3/4 of a cup of  oil (canola or vegetable)

1 cup of flour

1 tsp. of cinnamon

1- 1/2 cups of grated carrot

1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
Grease a 9×9 cake pan

Cream sugar and oil

Add the 2 eggs ( mix well)

Stir in dry ingredients

Fold in grated carrots and walnuts last

 

This is a great carrot cake recipe, plus it freezes really well. I usually double it, to make a 13×9 cake. You never know
when you will have company come over. If  we go out for dinner to see Family or Friends, it is so easy to have something
ready to grab out of your freezer. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center of the cake, if it comes out clean
your cake is complete. Let cool and top with cream cheese icing.

 

Cream Cheese Icing

1/2 cup of icing sugar

4 oz. of softened cream cheese

1/4 of softened butter

1 tsp. vanilla

 

 

Beat well with a hand mixer

Enjoy!

Easy Fresh Homemade Mexican Salsa Appetizer Recipe (Pico de gallo)

Fresh Cilantro – one whole bundle

Fresh Tomatoes – 10 medium sized

Fresh Limes – 3 (to taste)

White Onions – 2 medium sized

Jalapeno peppers – 1 small green ones (2 for hotter)

Crushed salt (not normal table salt) The chunky kind – TO TASTE

Dice tomatoes fine

Dice white onions fine

Chop cilantro fine

Chop garlic fine

Chop Jalapeno peppers fine (remove seeds)

Tajin mexican spice, Valentina hot sauce (optional)

————————————————————-

————————————————————-
STIR IT UP Then thoroughly squeeze limes in and mix

Add salt and lime to suit your taste

Mix well

TASTE IT.

THE TRICK IS THE SALT NOW

Keep adding salt until the flavours start to go BOOM!.

If you don’t add enough salt it will never get that great
flavour. If you don’t add enough lime then it won’t get
that great taste. If you don’t add enough Cilantro you
won’t get that great taste.

This is my Husband’s specialty. We have a few Corona’s with salt and lime while he makes this.
Everyone likes it a little different, so taste test often as you go.

or 1 can of spray whipped cream

in between each crepe.

Filling

Stir cornstarch into juice in a medium bowl.

Stir every couple of min. If you are using a tart
