I followed Jen's recipe exactly... The only difference was that I was able to find cake flour at Harris Teeter, so I didn't need to substitute there. While I don't think mine came out nearly as pretty, I was still very happy with the end result... And more importantly, everyone else loved it too!
Wouldn't it be perfect for a shower? (not-so-subtle hint to married friends: I'm talking a shower of the baby variety) I must have been in a baking mood, because with the extra butter cream frosting, I decided to make a few quick carrot cake cupcakes...
Thank goodness there was no shortage of volunteers to take home leftovers! Although, Jeff did manage to save a few cupcakes and a slice of cake to snack on throughout the rest of our weekend!
Yay! I'm so glad this was a hit. Your cake is beautiful!!!
