I'm looking for a good carrot cake recipe. I'm attempting to try and convince my family that it's not gross because it has carrots in it.
I'd be proper grateful if you could help, I've been wanting to make one for ages. :)
Does anybody have any experience in baking this cake?
I tried it in Russia and loved it so i wanted to try baking it.
However, the end product from the recipe I found online was not quite the same.
( photos and queries under cut. )
Hi! This is my first time posting a recipe in here! I hope you enjoy it! This is a take on the Jell-O poke cakes, but a lot easier to make!

Hey! I'm delurking to post these cookies I just baked :D
I suddenly had an urge to bake cookies at 12am here ^^;
I have been angry all night so I decided to bake something to help me feel better.
(actually, it's not the end product that makes me happy, it's the process xD).( more pictures + recipe under the cut** )
I continue to impress myself. I've done something like this before, with the Marine Corps Seal. This is for a picnic with my husband's language class, the last one before graduation.
This is the picture I worked off of, it's the Defense Language Institute of Monterey crest (the military language school, my husband is here learning Arabic):
( Wanna see what I did? )
The cupcakes from the last post reminded me that I've been meaning to post the rainbow cake I made for my son's birthday. Since I was just making a box mix I wanted to liven it up a little, and this was the end result! I just used a whote box mix and a 4 color set of liquid food color for the colors. I made some cupcakes as well but both batches were crammed into little (ok, and big) mouths post-haste. I was pretty pleased with how the colors turned out!
( Follow the rainbow... )
I'm not sure what's kept me away for so long--I can't believe I haven't posted since February!
First up, my new favorite dessert--banana cream pie!
( Four different desserts )
As always, more at my blog - In the Wabe
My man and I often eat oatmeal with mashed bananas for breakfast. Something about mashed bananas makes them so much more palatable since the sugar structure changes. We realized these cookies are not too far from our daily morning ritual and ate handfuls these cookies for breakfast today instead. Yay!
I used olive oil instead of coconut oil because i didn't have any. I'd love to try coconut oil next time to see the difference, I'm guessing it would add a nutty depth to the taste and a slightly different texture since it's solid at room temperature. I also accidentally bought sweetened coconut, which probably made them even tastier but slightly less healthy. :D
This is probably the most badass "healthy" cookie recipe I've ever come across. They taste sooo good and aren't full of seeds and dates and crap like most attempts at healthy cookies. I hope you give them a try, they taste better than they look! The bottoms brown beautifully, too, giving them an authentic crisp cookie texture. Plus, if you're gluten-sensitive they can be made with gluten-free oats. Plus, they're vegan and they don't taste like freakin hippies!!@@#$!!!

My first post ever. I wanted my first post to be something good and out of the ordinary for me. Since it is the summer-time I usually partake in drinking lemonade of hot days. One of my favorite drinks. Pink-lemonade is one of my favorite flavors when it comes to candy, desserts, etc. I made pink-lemonade pie before and it was a big hit (to the mouth and amongst my friends). So when I came across this recipe I just had to try it.
I cook more than I bake so I only do "from scratch" recipes with cookies and some cakes whenever I choose to bake.
Pink Lemonade Cupcakes
1 can of pink-lemonade concentrate
1 box of white cake mix
1 tub of vanilla icing
Follow the directions for the cake as follows but substitute the concentrate for the water. They came out delicious. Very sweet and tart but the flavor calms down after the longer the cakes sit.

Hello, bakers! In the idleness of summer break, I've gained a newfound love of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Well, countless sandwiches later, I'm getting rather tired of them. Do any of you have some PB&J-themed recipes? Cookies, cakes, anything! =)
Thanks so much!
I found a recipe for Red cream soda cupcake, since I can no longer drink pop, I jumped at it.
The frosting is a vegi just buttercream frosting but I added a tablespoon of cream soda instead of soy milk.
It does not have a big cream soda flavour but they are tasty none the least.
Next, I want to try root beer cupcake.
For health reasons, a close relative has had to eliminate salt from their diet. They love bread, but the cost of low-salt and salt-free bread is horrendous, and it often doesn't taste wonderful.
I'm trying to find a *tasty* recipe for bread sans salt. Bonus points if it will work in a bread machine, so they won't have to knead (arthritis)--I don't live in the area, or I'd make it for them.
I really want to help out, so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
guys, look in your kitchen. do you have peanut butter? do you have sugar? do you have an egg?
if you have those 3 ingredients, make these cookies today!

Hello Bake-Bake-Bake Bakers!
I'll be making a Green Tea cheesecake for a friend's birthday tomorrow, and I'm wondering if anyone has a recipe/suggestion for a topping for the cake? Because when the cheesecake bakes, and the crust forms on top, the colour is a mix of green/brown and it's quite ugly ): I was thinking of dusting the top with green tea powder, but it needs some kind of frosting/topping to adhere to!
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated (:
Hello bakers!!
This is my first post in![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small}
bakebakebake ! I just got home for the summer from college about a month ago, and when I found this community I was so excited!! I've tried out 2 or 3 recipes from here so far in my time at home, and they're awesome!! You guys are so amazing. :) I'm definitely inspired to bake more now.
A few days ago I realized that we have a ton of apples laying around my house. So I decided to make apple crisps. A friend of mine made them for me once, and they were so good that I had to try some of my own!
Hey bakers!
I have family staying with me this week and have been very busy cooking and baking. Yesterday I made baby back ribs (mmm!) and a pineapple strawberry layer cake. Today I did cinnamon rolls for breakfast and steaks on the grill with no-knead bread for dinner. I also have a key lime pie in the works for later in the week!
I plan on making full posts later on with the baked goods, but I find myself with a dilemma for tomorrow.
This morning I did a big breakfast with eggs made to order, bacon, sausage and the cinnamon rolls. Tomorrow we are going to be leaving the house fairly early (9:30am) to head into old town St. Augustine and show them the sights. I need a breakfast that I can do pretty quickly that will last them until we make it until lunch at one of our favorite restaurants around 1 or 2 pm.
Any ideas? Something portable too would be great for eating in the car!
