Quazy Carrot Cake

Eating My Way Through the Holidays! Sweet Celebrations: Quazy Carrot Cake! “What’s up, Doc?” is something we’ve all heard Bugs Bunny say more than once. You may find yourself asking the same question when you take a bite of this tasty version of Carrot Cake. It’s loaded with fresh carrots, pineapple tidbits, and chopped pecans. The crowning moment comes when you smack your lips together over the wonderful cream cheese icing. I have seen expressions of jubilation over this award-winning dessert. Treat yourself to something special this weekend.

  2. The weekends, I buy a boasted chicken, a single serve carrot cake, peach juice, cheese, Turkey sausage, and a dark chocolate bar. Saturday’s are my non cooking time so I can concentrate on challenging work to accomplish. A local restaurant use to bake carrot cake to order. Good choice.
