I have a wonderful carrot cake recipe that I would love to share. I have found NO ONE who has not like this cake. It is very rich and serves many people.





After dinner with a cup of coffee this would be WONDERFUL!!!





CARROT CAKE


2 cups plain flour


2 cups sugar


2 teaspoons baking powder


2 teaspoons soda


1 teaspoon cinnamon


1 teaspoon salt


4 eggs


1 1/2 cups Wesson oil


3 cups grated carrots


1/2 cup chopped pecans


1/2 cup chopped English walnuts


3 - (8 ounce) packages cream cheese


1 stick butter (not margarine)


1 - (2 pound) bag of powder sugar





Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon. Beat eggs and add oil. Combine dry ingredients with egg mixture. Add carrots and nuts and pour into 4 greased/floured cake pans (8 or 9 inch) and bake for 45 minutes at 300 degrees. Cream together cream cheese and butter. Add sugar and beat well. ( I always let my cake cool for a very long time, sometimes overnight) When cake is cool, frost between layers.





WE ALL LOVE IT!!Any suggestions for a dessert to take to a couples get-together?
Cheesecake muffins!!!! They have whatever candy you want in the middle (I put snickers and reeses peanut butter cups), are easy to make and sooo yummy!!!! If you want the recipe you can contact me or I got the recipe from Paula Dean, so you should be able to go to foodnetwork.com. If you don't make them for this you should still definatly try them sometime!
Gotta be a cheesecake!!!!





CHEESECAKE SUPREME





5 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened


1/4 tsp. vanilla


3/4 tsp. grated lemon or 1/4 c. lemon juice


1 3/4 c. sugar


3 tbsp. flour


1/4 tsp. salt


5 whole eggs


2 egg yolks


1/4 c. whipping cream





Beat cream cheese until creamy. Add vanilla and lemon. Gradually blend in sugar, flour and salt. Add eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, beating after each just enough to blend. Gently stir in whipping cream. Turn into crust lined pan. Bake 45-60 minutes in 300 to 350 degree oven.





CHEESECAKE SUPREME CRUST:





1 c. sifted all-purpose flour


1/4 c. sugar


1/2 c. butter


1 slightly beaten egg yolk


1/4 tsp. vanilla





Combine first two ingredients, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Add egg yolk and vanilla. Blend thoroughly. Pat dough on sides and bottom of pan. Bake in oven about 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cake may be topped with strawberry topping or sour cream and sugar.
Make (or buy) a couple of large pans of brownines, maybe one with nuts and one without. Score them before hand. Take these, some vanilla ice cream, microwavable hot fdge, spray whip cream and cherries. Make hot fudge brownie sundaes. You can ake butterscotch or caramel too and let people top their own sundays. Sprinkles and nuts are fun too, it just depends how much you want to do.


This offers options for non chocolate lovers (plain vanilla ice cream) as well as something dreamy for choc lovers!
