Carrot Cake
Just because this piece of cake has a ribbon at the same place as Hello Kitty does. (BTW I didn’t know until I saw the site linked above but they say she was born in a suburb of London and her blood type is A!)
I made this to use up the carrots left from the carrot halwa I made the other day. Since I’m on a real tight budget now, I didn’t allow myself to buy walnuts and cinnamon to make this cake. So this has only about 2/3 of the amount of cinnamon called for in the recipe and absolutely no walnuts. The taste is… I would say C+.And I froze the leftover cream cheese frosting.
They look so delicious.. Obachan..!
ReplyDeleteHi Obachan,
ReplyDeleteOooh, I really like carrot cake. This one looks good even if it doesn't have walnuts in it. =)
Hey! Now that you've mentioned it, your cake slice DOES look like hello kitty! :)
ReplyDeleteNo walnuts, not stated amount of cinnammon, but your photo makes the cake look oh-so-yummy anyway!

Thanks. But next time I’ll definitely use walnuts.

Honestly, my photo re-touching is improving much faster than my cooking and English.

I’ve never tried adding pineapple to carrot cake, but I can imagine how it would taste like. Yeah, maybe, not a bad idea…

Thanks. I saw your carrot cake and that was marvelous! : )
The cake is so cute! I love how light and fluffy it looks. ^_^
ReplyDeleteObachan - such a pretty looking cake, it's got a lovely 'carrot orange' colour. I love the name too, I discovered she was from a suburb of london when I got my 'hello kitty' birthday card last year!
ReplyDeletehi obachan, i am so happy to have discovered your blog - it is simply stunning and utterly delicious to both read and look at!

ReplyDeleteWell, I did a bit of re-touching to these photos, to be honest. I always try to make the color closer to what I see with my eyes, though… nothing more. But depending on the display, the color might be showing brighter or redder than what I see on mine. BTW, Your site is so really charming ;)

Oh, my. Thanks for the nice words, but I guess you, being a photo expert, can tell my cheesy work. ;P It’s really frustrating to take shots with an obsolete digital camera!
