Day 2 - Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing


I found a recipe in the All-American Baking book. My hubby walks by and proclaims "I'm not going to like it. The frosting is too sweet". I tried to explain that most all frosting have loads of sugar.

Nevertheless I found a lower sugared recipe for the frosting on the web. It had just 2 C of sugar with 2 packages of creme cheese and 1 tsp of vanilla and 2 sticks of butter.

Being the improviser I substituted 2 things on this recipe.
  1. The pans: I used 2 8" rounds instead of an 8.5" x 11" x 2 baking pan
  2. It called for Sunflower Oil. I used Canola.
  3. I got impatient and iced it without cooling it properly. I wish I had a picture of it. The top layer nearly slid off the bottom layer.
