My Healthy Cake Joke

I always made a joke as a kid how healthy this cake was.


I got all my vitamins from the carrots, raisins and there were eggs in the cake so we should be able to eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.


My mother didn't see the humor in that. I was quite the joker back then.

The Frosting is my Favorite!

I could never figure out what mom did to make this whipped cream frosting, I just ate the heck out of it.


As a kid, I liked the frosting better than the cake but what kid doesn't?


Now as an adult,  I just love all the nuts, raisins and carrot cake.


But the frosting is still my favorite part, it's so creamy and dreamy!


It's such a great combination for the added sweetness.


Of course, if there are nut allergies in your family you can substitute any kind of seeds instead, like pumpkin seeds roasted are great!
