Mmmm.... cake

It`s not often that I bake a cake, but today I am. A friend of mine is celebrating her 30th birthday and requested either cheese cake or carrot cake from me. Ì`m making carrot cake, and feel rather hobbity doing so because I have to do most of the things by hand. I`m not very well equipped in kitchen machines and have to carve (?) the carrots by hand and mix the dough with a handheld mixer. Also I`m not using a cake mix, but doing things from scratch. Now I just hope those who are eating it will think it`s good. :)

Recepie? All right then:

4,5 decilitres flour
4,5 decilitres sugar
6-7 carrots, finely carved
1 teaspoon natron
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
A little nutmeg and a little cardamon
2 decilitres neutral oil
4 eggs

Mix sugar and eggs and then add the rest.

Put in oven for about 30 minutes at 175 C.

Topping
75 grams neutral cheese, like Philadelphia
50 grams butter
A little vanilla sugar or essens for taste
Icing sugar

Enjoy!
