Carrot Walnut Cake.....Best Ever



Carrot....oooo carrot...hehehe mcm xpercaya jerk si carrot nie sedap bila diolah didlm kek. Selalu sangat dah aku dengar orang kata kek nie sedap, tp aku xpernah sempat nk mmbuat nyer. Xsampai seru lg lh katakan....weheee. Tp mmng betol pn....sedap hingga menjilat sudu. Tekstur kek nyer mmng lembap jerk, pastu lemak2 gitu....ditambah lak dengan cream cheese frosting. Dihias lak dgn si comel carrot tue....geram tau. Cepat juga kek nie habis berbanding dengan Choc Buttermilk kek hari tue. Resepi asal dari dapur 'Kitchen Guardian' and buku -buku masakan teristimewa aku. Ngeee tp.....as usual, suka buat suka hati. Maka nyer, ada yg aku tambah...and ada yg aku kurangkan....Alhamdulillah, hasilnya mmng sukses lh...
