I had prepared few cakes for those coming to the house. Nutella marble cake, carrot cake, pound cake and chocolate cake. I choose carrot cake from Rima's recipe coz it has a banana in it, a bit different from others. I gave it a try and VoILA!!!!!! I love the taste of it, it has a nutty flavor besides the carrot and also banana flavor. I choose not to put cream cheese topping on it coz I don't want to spoil the carrot cake shape as I use my bundt pan to bake it. Thanks Rima, for sharing the recipe . As for my relatives who tried the cake some of them ask me whether it is Kuih Bengkang Pisang or carrot cake , I just smile and said whatever you want to call it I don't mind as long as you like to eat it!!!! Hehehehehe at least I'm happy to see them eating the cakes and enjoy it. To my brotha Iwan and Kila' Selamat Pengantin Baru semoga Bahagia ke Anak Cucu' I love both of you!!!!
