Carrot cake made with baby food

This carrot cake was not too moist and not too great but it was the first time I ever made cream cheese frosting and it was worth it just for that.  I packed up the remainder of the cake to give away and there it went.

This recipe also called for nuts in the frosting.  That was a bit disastrous.  I normally like nuts in a cake but not this time.  The total cost for the cake was 5$.  It would have cost me 3$ if I had not wasted the nuts in it.  Live and learn.

The price for a similarly sized carrot cake in the grocery store was 9$.  I am guessing the quality would be about the same.  Very ho-hum.

 

 I can't imagine not having actual carrots in a carrot cake so I stirred some in.
