This has become quite the hit wherever my mother takes it. It’s a no-fuss cake that you enjoy with your morning or afternoon tea.
Many people have asked for its recipe so here it is! Of course this will make my dear mother quite happy as she is already excited that her famous shakshouka is on my blog!

The Oven Experiments 
Again, I can vouch for the “yumminess” of that cake! My mom had a piece of it that other day and to my surprise asked for the recipe. Mind you she never bakes!
Well, now with all those recipes flying around. I would like to request your sister’s “made to perfection” apple pie recipe. A step by step picture guide would be an added bonus 😉
I”ll ask my sister to guest blog again for the apple pie this time!
Reem, the classic, no nonsense apple pie is on the agenda!
Yay!

Neither have I. This cake is not as ‘carroty’ as a traditional carrot cake. Do try it and let me know how it turns out.
It looks so delicious! My mother loves baking cake, so she’s sure to love making this carrot cake! thanks for the recipe:)
You’re most welcome!
