. CARROT CAKE .
I have 3 favourite cakes, banana cake, cheesecake and carrot cake. I also do like a good crumble every now and then, especially home made by my mum in winter. Now if and when I do a spot of baking these tend to be the bad boys I cook up. I have shared my banana passion cake recipe on my blog already (here) but I thought it about time I added another recipe to the mix, this time a carrot cake one. This is what Jase & I made on Sunday last week and it was super yummy & well worth the bake.
