I love carrot cake...this might be another version to try out.
Thanks Jenny.
Flavourful wishes, Claudia
I made this cake thinking it was going to be pretty healthy, what with the absence of butter and use of sunflower oil instead. But when you eat it, it has the definite inklings of a cake that is more naughty for you than it should be.
