Baking carrot cake is really simple, and it gets easier if you are really hungry and hankering for one.
This is a no-fail recipe, taken from my mother in-law's cookbook.
For those who never could bake, this..is THE carrot cake recipe for you!
WARNING :
This recipe makes a HUGE cake (picture below). I usually use half of the ingredients and it makes a medium-sized cake.
1) standard measuring cups (preferably plastics , because they are just cheaper). Mine is not this nice, mine is just white, and i was too lazy to take a picture of measuring cups!
2) a mixer and a big bowl
This is my mixer! love it. Sunbeam.. and since its just hand-held its kinda cheap..compared to the one with the bowl attached.

3) A convection oven. Or a microwave with a convection oven. Whatever. Just don't microwave the batter ok?
