Why so much oil in carrot cake recipes?
Comments (33)I don't remember who posted this recipe or the link to the recipe, but it is very, very good. Although it has no added sugar and is lower in carbs (great for diabetics like me), it's not low in fat or low in calories. I usually make mini-muffins rather than a cake, for portion control. I haven't yet made the frosting, so I can't comment on it. The Fantabulous Whole Wheat Carrot Cake 16 servings in 9"x13" pan (12g net carbs; 15g total carbs including 3g fiber) 24 mini-muffins (8g net carbs; 10g total carbs including 2g fiber) 2 cups white whole wheat flour, sifted 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 cup Splenda for baking or 1 Splenda Quick Pack for even fewer carbs 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I like more) 4 eggs (I use jumbo eggs) 1 cup canola oil (or substitute with some apple sauce) 2 cups grated carrots 1 cup unsweetened crushed canned pineapple, drained Combine dry ingredients. Beat oil and eggs until frothy; stir in carrots and pineapple. Mix wet ingredients with dry until just mixed - do not over mix. Put into greased baking pans of your choice. Bake at 350° - 15 min for mini-muffins; 25-30 min for 8"x8" pan; 30-40 min for 9"x13" pan. Cool in pans several minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack. Sugar-Free Cream Cheese Frosting 1 1/2 cups cream cheese (1 1/2 8 oz. brick) 1 1/2 tbs. butter, softened 16 packets of Equal (or less to taste) 2 tsp. vanilla 0-2 tbs. milk to thin frosting if needed. Let cream cheese softened to room temperature. Add softened butter and beat with mixer until creamy and smooth. Add vanilla and sweetener....See MoreRECIPE: orange sherbet from norge fridge cookbook
Comments (2)Norge...likely from the 60's...early 60's.. And I will tell you that if you make icecream with what my mother used to call "vappy" it will taste like "vappy"...EWWW...Pop for the cream!! Evaporated milk comes in 2 sizes...a tall can...think it holds about 12 oz, and a short can which holds 1/2 that. Way back when, lots of people used "vappy" in their coffee and tea....even restraunts ( at least on the east coast) even offered a choice of evaporated milk or cream with your coffee. Growing up there was always a short can of "vappy" with 2 holes punched into the top, sitting in the refrigerator, because one of my grand mothers who lived with us preferred it....EWWW!!

Comments (22)You also might consider something like a china cabinet (a Haywood-Wakefield -style china cabinet would be very hot!) as a furniture-style solution. It can hold more than china -- vintage staples canisters, cookbooks, linens on the bottoms etc. That way you can just move it around the house as needed. Some people find things stay cleaner. (I have open shelves and don't have a problem.) You can definitely replace the laminate counter (they pull the whole counter out, not just peel off the skin) and put in a new laminate counter, or put in another kind of counter. Sometimes a "period feel" can be done with just what you have and some accessories. You don't need to add a thing that would turn anyone off. I also wanted to raise the issue that some people, contractors, designers etc, may come in and advise you to rip everything out. They may do this for a silly reason -- it's just easier for them, or a real reason -- a slow drip has been rotting the sink cabinet for 15 years, and it actually does have to be replaced. It's easy for things to get the "while we're at its" as someone here called it, and before you know it, your very modest kitchen plan calls for bumping out 3 stories and adding an indoor pool. I just want you to remember that, no matter what you decide, YOU are the one in control of this project. It's YOUR house. You can really say "No, we're happy with X as it is. We'd just like a quote on the Y right now, thanks." If you needed to get a couple of cabinets built because one is very rotted and unsalvageable, it might be done by a local carpenter for a reasonable amount of money, less than getting a whole new set of cabinets. But if what you really want is a whole new kitchen in 5 years, then -- get the leak FIXED, come back and let us know....See MoreFood memory - russian coffee cake
Comments (17)I grew up with a bakery owned and run by a German family about a block away and they had a very inexpensive spice cake, with orange buttercream frosting, that they sold in 8 inch squares or in half 8 inch squares....4 by 8 inches. They told us ( when we asked why it was so cheap) that they took all the cakes and cookies that didn't sell, crumbled them up and used that as the "flour" in a spice cake. Don't know what they did with any frosting, because it was a very cake-like texture.....and very delicious!! Maybe they used the buttercream and added lots of grated orange rind?...See Morehubmom
