THE BEST CARROT CAKE
Our classic carrot cake is nicely spiced with cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg and has toasted pecans both in the cake and on top. Plumped golden raisins and a full pound of carrots make it nice and moist while buttermilk lends tang and tenderness. Our homemade cream-cheese frosting has just the right amount of sweetness.

Steps:
- For the cake: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottoms with parchment paper rounds and lightly coat the paper with spray.
- Cover the raisins with very hot water and let sit until plump, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.
- Toast the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet until fragrant and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, and then chop 1 cup of the pecans; reserve for the cake batter. Pulse the remaining 1/2 cup pecans in a food processor until very finely ground; reserve for garnish.
- Combine the carrots and buttermilk in a medium bowl. Whisk the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Beat the eggs, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until pale and thick, about 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium-low and gradually stream in the oil. Add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the carrot mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until smooth. Fold in the raisins and chopped pecans with a rubber spatula. Scrape the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake the cakes, rotating the pans halfway through, until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pans to a wire rack and let the cakes cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of the cakes and invert onto the rack. Remove the parchment and let the cakes cool completely.
- For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and gradually mix in the confectioner' sugar. Increase the speed to high and beat until the frosting until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- To assemble the cake: When the cakes are completely cool, trim the domes of each cake round with a large serrated knife so the tops are flat. Place one cake, cut-side down, on a platter. Spread 1 1/2 cups of the frosting evenly over top. Place the remaining cake, cut-side down, on top. Spread the top with another 1 1/2 cups of the frosting. Frost the sides of the cake with another 1 1/2 cups frosting and smooth out completely to make an even crumb coat (It's ok if some of the cake shows through. This is just a base layer.) Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the frosting set.
- Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake, swirling decoratively if desired. Sprinkle with the finely ground pecans.
FLAX SEED CARROT CAKE
A sin-free, delicious, and fruity version of the ever-popular carrot cake. The flax seed meal may be omitted, but it can easily be found in health food stores. This cake is best served chilled because of its moist quality.

GOLDEN CARROT CAKE
Golden Brown Sugar gives a maple flavor to the cake. While applesauce is a healthier option to cooking oil. So half the oil, with applesauce. Half the granulated sugar with golden brown sugar. Truly Golden Carrot Cake!

CARROT FRUITCAKE
This recipe belonged to my mother and is at least 35 years old, maybe older. The cake is very moist and absolutely delicious. It is printed here just the way she made it. I on the other hand made it with some minor alterations. Instead of mixed candied fruit, I would use a mixture of my choices mainly candied cherries and pineapple as I didn't like the citron in the premixed jars. Please don't save this recipe just for the holiday season....leave out the mixed candied fruit and it already seems like less of a holiday tradition.

GOLDEN FRUITCAKE **EXCELLENT
This fruitcake is so awesome! It is light in color not the dark kind that tastes weird. I have made this since 1986 and I always make at least a double-triple batch to give around the Holidays. My sister always asks for some. It freezes so well and keeps in freezer for months. *Tip- purchase aluminum foil pans See recipe for...

Steps:
- 1. Cut 1 cup dried apricots into small pieces; pour just enough boiling water over apricots to cover. Let stand for 20 minutes, then drain thoroughly.Combine snipped apricots with 2 cups chopped, candied pineapple; 2 cups golden raisins; 1 cup dark raisins, 1 cup candied cherries, halved; 1 cup chopped citron; 1 cup chopped, candied orange peel; 1/2 cup chopped, candied lemon peel; 2 cups coarsely chopped pecans, and 1 cup slivered, blanched almonds.
- 2. Cream 1 1/4 cups shortening, 1 1/2 cups honey, and 2 teaspoons rum extract or vanilla together thoroughly; beat in 6 eggs. Sift 2 1/2 cups sifted all purpose flour with 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. Add to creamed mixture, mixing till smooth. Add fruit.
- 3. Turn fruitcake batter into greased pans lined with aluminum foil - either two 11x4x3 inch fruitcake pans and one 5 1/2x3x2 1/4 inch pan or one 10 inch tube springform pan and one 7 1/2x3 3/4x2 1/4 inch loaf pan. Bake at 275F degrees about 1 3/4 hours for small loaves, 2 hours for medium loaves, and 2 3/4 hours for tube pan. (Place shallow pan of hot water on bottom of oven.)
- 4. Cool cakes thoroughly, then remove them from pan. I use an injector to put brandy in cake. Be generous all over cake. The more, the better! Wrap tightly in brandy-soaked cloth and then foil. Store in cool place for several weeks. I start making cakes at the beginning to middle of October. That gives them lots of time to marinate and age in brandy. They are wonderful!
MINIATURE GOLDEN FRUITCAKES
These tiny fruitcakes will bring joy to everyone on your list. We used dried apples, pears, apricots, and golden raisins, but you can also use dried cherries, cranberries, and regular raisins, or a mixture.
