                     These days iam really very lazy to do any serious cooking................nd even if cook something iam too busy to take photos.............so i thought iam neglecting my blog a little.............nd then i thought of making this carrot cake to ease this laziness................
when i think of carrot cakes i think of greeshmas [my friend from college] mummys carrot cakes............that was the first time i had those cakes and had loved it since then..................so when i started my own cooking experiments one of the first things i tried were those cakes..........but i never got the taste as those cakes from college...............but when i made this cake i added some cake spices just for a change............and when i had a single bite from this i knew this was what i wanted...............it was just like that taste in my mind................nd i was so happy that i got the recipe at last..................so try this and enjoy...................
