Carrot Cake

my carrot cake pasalubong

It always makes me smile everytime i see or hear about carrot cake, coz the very reason why we agreed to meet for the first time at Cafe de France in the early morning of January 7, 2008 was to give him my pasalubong from Bacolod, my home baked Carrot cake. Though that was my very first carrot cake and its not that "lami" he still insisted that i should let him taste so i brought some for him and its just so funny because the cake that i made was more like a fruit-carrot-cake pudding with raisins on top. Though least significant but somehow the cake became a part of our story.

The second time i baked carrot cake was here in Cebu and its more delicious than the first one; this is the recipe that i'm going to share with you today.
