As promised I am starting to release some of the old recipes from the first year of the website. To get the new recipes and demo videos just go to my store and purchase a one year membership. Your tastebuds will thank you!

This make a really amazing brunch item. With the maple cream cheese topping you feel like your having dessert instead of the mail course. Make it with or without raisins and walnuts. If you like pineapple in your carrot cake replace some of the milk with pineapple juice or crushed pineapple. As long as the volume of liquid adds up to the amount specified.
