sunday tea time, carrot cake...

It was a very lazy Sunday. Since it been awhile i didn't do baking so decide to bake a cake. Look into the net for nice and easy cake recipe to try on. There's a pack of carrot lying in my fridge for weeks already. Not wanting it to end up in rubbish bin, must as well make something out of it...CARROT CAKE!!

Spend an hour in the kitchen mixing and whipping...the result, a delicious and moist carrot cake. Taste tested by my only food critic "my little brother" and it passed. Quite satisfied yet another succeed baking.  














Here is the recipe...took from deliciousasianfood.com. Make a slight modification to omit the cinnamon and nutmeg powder because i don't like the taste of it. Here is the my version:

120 grammes pineapples (tinned, drained and chopped)
60 grammes raisins (lightly chopped)
