It's in the oven as I speak! It's smells really good. I'll tell you how it tastes when it's ready. =D

Here are the American measurements:
14 tbsps butter
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 tbps baking soda
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup carrots
1 cup almonds

14 tbsps cream cheese
1 cup powd. sugar

And 180c is 350. =D

Most of you probably know that, but for lazy beginners like me, here they are.

Yummy! It was really good!

Although I baked it in a non-stick bundt pan and it came out a little too brown, so if any of you decide to use a non-stick bundt pan, I'd suggest baking it for about 35-40 minutes instead. =D

And I would ease up a little tiny bit on the almonds.

It's really yummy, though! Mmmm!
