Carrot Cake

Wow my first photo. Thanks Mitch. Taken on our beautiful rosewood table built by hubby over twenty years ago. As for posting photos, I shall probably need help again. It's an ongoing ocean of learning this technology stuff. I'll take cooking any day.
I iced what was left of the cake with a combination of icing sugar, cream cheese and passionfruit juice. Together with a cup of tea it was delicious. So easy and no mucking around with mix masters or beaters. No excuses for what is truly the simplest of cakes.
