Sorry, TCS members, I am late in baking and posting August's cake!

But here we are!

I made the full recipe for the carrot cake,

but half the recipe for the cream cheese frosting

See, I did bake three round cakes, only small ones - 4.5" diameter!

and I thought I would have enough batter for a sheet cake

but evidently no.... so folded up the excess paper

and use the only suitable size barriers - ramekins!

ain't I clever!

I frosted one of the small round cakes and two slabs of

the sheet cake to make a two-layer rectangle cake.

Chopped some toasted walnuts for garnishing the round cake.

A healthy carrot cake with loads of carrots, walnuts and

mixed color raisins

(I did use only 1 cup of soft brown sugar instead

of 1 cup each of brown and white)

ps:  I added grated zest and juice of one lime to the cheese frosting.

yumms!
