Love the wedding photo...I got married in 1978 and carrot cake was one of the choices also.

When I was little, I used to base what I gave up for Lent on whether my birthday fell before or after Ash Wednesday (it's in late February). =) I really liked the frosting on this one, too, when we made it last year. I did a third of the recipe, baked it in two 6-inch pans, and split them so I had a total of four layers. It was a cute little cake.Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968703151905016369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034743878261895543.post-4695764784742182392009-04-09T18:12:00.000-04:002009-04-09T18:12:00.000-04:00Your cake looks wonderful!Your cake looks wonderful!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260596171317140855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034743878261895543.post-58018733829560908332009-04-09T14:35:00.000-04:002009-04-09T14:35:00.000-04:00Funny, my Bill's favorite cake is carrot also.

I have been planning to make it myself this Saturday for my husband's birthday which was yesterday. And it is a lovely Easter cake I think. I can't wait to make it. I've tasted Cathy's version and it was great. I really like your substitutions and I think I'll try some of them in mine - especially the smashed banana. And I'm glad to know I could cut in half too, but I'll probably need all three layers. Do you think it would work as a sheetpan cake also? Beautiful cake.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12442588077162573131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034743878261895543.post-33795047799561660412009-04-08T20:47:00.000-04:002009-04-08T20:47:00.000-04:00Really, carrot cake, german chocolate and angel fo...Really, carrot cake, german chocolate and angel food cake: they are my favorites. <BR/>I haven't tried Dorie's yet, that needs to change.MyKitchenInHalfCupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07321041059604871286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034743878261895543.post-39718014341860005082009-04-08T20:02:00.000-04:002009-04-08T20:02:00.000-04:00My college roommate got married in 1981 and her si...My college roommate got married in 1981 and her sister (or his?) baked a big carrot cake to go alongside the traditional one, because (if I remember correctly) her mom said she couldn't have carrot cake as a wedding cake.
