Failed carrot cake...

I think i found a new love...
...
mayb not, its a love affair revived...
...
but i'll never ever leave my current bf...
...
but this attraction is too strong...
...
so i decided the best solution is to yi jiao ta liang chuan (one leg step two boats)...
...
dear, pls dun blame me. pls forgive me.
not that i wana cheat on u...
...
but its only cooking n trying new recipies!
k, i admit its damn cheesy... but since i'm rotting at home, might as well try recipies from the loads of recipies my mum n i keep. last week, we've already tried banana cake. today we did some cookies n carrot cake. the cookies were easy so i'm not gonna talk abt it.

let's tok abt the carrot cake instead... now i understand y cafes charge an avg 5 bucks for a slice of carrot cake, either that or its at least 50 cents more expensive then the other cakes. the preparation is crazy...
first, u have to grate the carrots. then u have to cut the walnuts n raisins into smaller pieces. all these took me 2+ hours. luckily it was done last nite.
then u had to beat the eggs first then add oil, sugar n vanilla essence. after that, u add in detergent. that was wht my mum did... she tot the yellow liquid in the measuring cup still had oil. which in fact was detergent i put in to rid the oily oil.
so we had to weigh the sugar n start all over again... so beat the eggs first then add oil, sugar n vanilla essence. then after blending them, add in flour, cinnamon powder, salt n bicarbonate of soda. n then, blend again... then after that u add in the carrots, walnuts n raisins.
so many thens, cannot all add in at one go... tt's y the preparation very troublesome, even minus away the detergent part. then we still had to prepare the icing with sugar, butter n maple syrup.
honestly i consider the the cake a failure, even the icing is also a failure. the cake is too moist n oily. have to squeeze n drain the juice out from the grated carrots the next time round n cut down the oil. the icing was too sweet. before weighing the sugar for the icing, my mum told me to cut down the sugar given in the recipie, but it was still too sweet. so we might b trying the carrot cake again next week.
