Bill's Big Carrot Cake

TWD Bill’s Big Carrot Cake chosen by Amanda of slow like honey

This was a fun project since most of my family members loveeeee carrot cake... I don't usually add Shredded coconut and raisins but I decided to follow the recipe as is and boy was the result pleasant. The cake turned out to be very moist just like I love them and also not too sweet. The frosting was actually quite different than what I usually make adding the lemon juice gave the icing an extra pleasant taste. I will definitely add lemon juice to my icings from now on.

The Most Extraordinary French Lemon Crean Tart

The Most Extraordinary French Lemon Crean Tart chosen by Mary of Starting From Scratch.

This is my first time posting and this assignment was quite interesting for me.

I got most of my ingredients in the local Super Market. I started with the lemon cream my problem was that I did not have a way of checking the temperature but I followed the instructions and I think I got the cream to the correct consistency and color. My cream was refrigerated overnight and I thought the consistency was good but when I spread it on the crust I felt it was a little soft.

The crust was quite easy to make I managed to make it this morning before heading to work. Spend a good 10+ hours in the freezer and when I baked it, it came out just fine.

Since I did not refrigerate the tart after assembling and before serving I thought the cream consistency was a little soft but since my crust was still a little warm then I assume that is the reason why.

This was a fun project and the first time I tried a lemon cream tart and I quite like it.
