I made this carrot cake 3 times before and it really turned yummy.. the only thing i changed in the recipe was reduced the sugar to 1 cup.. And i added the apple sauce too.
I was in the middle of the first Carrot cake recipe when i got the second one! So i just grated 1/2 cup skinned zucchini and reduced the carrot to 2 cups. Also reduced the sugar to 1 cup. Also i didnt add apple sauce this time because i thought Zucchinis have a high water content and it will help to keep the cake moist.
At the end.. both the recipies were delicious!
I made the cake in 2 loaf pans and took one to my friend Shebi’s house where we were having a girls party! Everyone loved it!!
The other loaf was almost finished by my kids and DH! Luckily i had one slice left to take a pic!! LOLs!

I have been baking and grilling a lot now a days but unfortunately my camera is dead and my camera phone is not so good in taking pics.. By the time i wait for my hubby to come home to take a pic from his iPhone half of the thing is eaten by mu kids and then i think ok may be i’ll post this next time… i have a lot of drafts and im wondering when im going to post all of this!!!
today my daughter told me lets make a cake together! Its really hard to resist a almost 5 yr old!
So i decided to make my first marble cake
from scratch! i have been
baking a lot from www.Allrecipes.com so i decided to go there and search for this recipe. And i think this is the perfect
recipe
then she said she wants cup cakes.. So with 3/4th of the batter i made a marble pound cake and the rest i made marble cup cakes.. i even mixed a little more cocoa pwdr in one or 2 cupcakes to make it chocolate cup cakes and some into plain white cup cake.

I followed the recipe exactly but reduced the flour by 1/2 cup as some of the reviewers suggested but kept everything else the same.
