What's up Doc ?

I know very corny but that's me .

 

The majority of the visits to my little ol' blog is to the carrots tutorial .

 

But......

lately things are changing and the Under the Christmas Tree linky

on Sundays is receiving huge amounts of hits.

 

Last week Melanie was the only one who linked up , thanks Melanie

but as Christmas is getting closer and closer we all need some

inspiration so I do hope more link up this week .

 

It's a great way to find different blogs and make new friends

all while getting a Christmas scare treat .

 

Just so you're not leaving here empty handed today I'll share

with you the new family favourite ~ Carrot Cake !

I used to think Carrot Cake was a bit ho hum but this

is just delicious and so very easy to make .

Grate 3 medium carrots and add to 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

2 eggs, 1 cup castor sugar , 1 cup plain flour ,3/4 cup canola oil,

1/2 tsp vanilla , a pinch of salt , 1 tsp sodi bicarb and 1/2 tsp mixed spice.

Mix together and bake at 180c for about 45 minutes using a ring tin .

 

Cream cheese icing ~ 1 tsp butter , 1/2 cup soft cream cheese

1 cup sifted icing sugar and a good splash of lemon juice .

Mix , mix , mix and spread on cold cake .

Do not bother putting this cake in the fridge

everyone just keeps taking it out and eating it .

 

If you don't have a ring tin (sounds like Rin Tin Tin )

just use a 20cm round tin with a small clean tin in the centre.

 

See you on Sunday for Christmas linking !
