Carrot Cake

I really love carrot cake but don't know how to make it till my senior in school gave me this recipe through her blog. I trusted her and tried the recipe
....it turned out to be 'super delicious'. Thanks Mak Yan, for sharing the recipe! Thumbs up to her...hehehehe. I know that there are some that just a plain carrot cake without any nuts added but i prefer the one with nuts and i can go 'nuts' eating it...kih! kih! kih! Last week we went to one of the hotel in KL, the 5 star luxury hotel and i was eyeing their carrot cake, we bought it and tried it but it's not like what i expected. So plain and....no commentlah!!! Maybe it's true when people said each people have different opinion about food especially when it comes to personal satisfaction. Well, enough said and after we got home, the next day i baked my favourite carrot cake. Voila.......!!!!
