Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Icing

I was worried the 4 Tbs of honey would not be enough to make the cake sweet enough, but with the sugary icing it was spot on! I think this is the first time I was weighing out ingredients for baking, which I enjoyed, since I think it's great to get the exact amount when baking. I forgot to pick up the sunflower oil so I just used vegetable oil. This turned out so yummy and moist and the kiddos had fun decorating, and by the looks of the plate this morning the Easter bunny liked it too :P

Oooh, I love carrot cake! The decorating is so cute! I notice it says 8 oz of flour. Do you have a scale? I guess I need to get one of those. I have heard it is the best way to bake - measuring by weight.

Yeah, I bought a food scale years ago to measure out my ground beef into 1 lb packages since I bought it in bulk. Found out I use it often for all kinds of things!! Hi..BEG, you can't really taste the carrots in the cake at all, they just turn sweet and meld into the cake, so not sure why so many people you know don't like it?! Maybe they are like my daughter who thought we were crazy to be putting carrots in there thinking it would taste like a big baked healthy carrot lol!

ML2C, exactly my thought the first time I baked this cake. But the icing is so sweet that you don't miss any sugar in the batter, right? ;)
I am glad you baked it, thanks for letting us know. I actually baked it yesterday too - my brother's request.
Today I ventured on a sweet potato cake. Will post it soon ;)

Mommyluvs2cook, truthfully to be honest with you.I always wanted to make one and could never find one that I wanted to try [Make].I have no idea why the people that I know doesn't like it.All I can think of is that it wasn't cooked all the way through.

Can't wait to hear about that sweet potato cake Ana! Never made one of those either :)
Browneyegirl, this is definitely good cake to start with, and if you don't have a food scale you can Google the weight to the amount measured. I was going to actually keep track of that and forgot!
