I have been doing lots of cooking lately, what with Easter and the holiday’s. I have made several more of my own recipes but as I have had family in town I have not had the time to go through all the photos yet to post them. I will hopefully get around to doing this over the weekend and be able to post them next week. until them I give you another recipe made from one of my team mates for the swap I am in this month. This is an absolutely fabulous carrot cake recipe it is truly one of the most moist carrot cakes I have made. My whole family just kept raving about it from the flavour to how moist it was, to asking for the recipe and also please make it again soon.

This is the easiest chocolate cake I have ever made I am not the craziest about baking as it is something I have never really enjoyed doing but this was fantastic. I did ice mine with frosting and I then sprinkled coconut flakes over instead of icing sugar. I have saved this one, as my family loved it and I do not mind making this regularly because it is not time consuming at all. If you would like to view the original recipe please click here.

5. Continue stirring until thoroughly blended, but do not over-mix.
6. Pour all of the batter into the cake tin, and bake, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake, comes out clean.

I iced mine with frosting and sprinkled coconut over the top.
