200g grated carrots
50g almond
2 eggs
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar

½ teaspoon bicarbonate

And you can always increase the amount of carrots. Sometimes it is ready a lot faster. So remember to keep checking the cake in the oven but don't open the oven to often.

You can mix lemon juice powdered sugar and cream cheese to make a good frosting just make it thick and spread it over the top and after that you can finish it all with a caramelized lemon slice on top.

One my special family recipe's

Curry fried brussel sprouts Side-dish

Boil the brussel sprouts and take them of when they are not quite ready.

Put them in a hot frying pan with a bit of olive oil in it.

Pour over lots of curry powder and some sugar and fry the brussel sprouts with the curry so that you get a thin golden layer on the outside.

The longer you fry it the more taste you get but be careful so that the brussel sprouts doesn't get mushy.

Serve hot with most other kinds of food.

Seriously though, I have such a hard time cooking. haha. I have to have instructions written out exactly step by step with what it looks like and feels like and smells like and everything or it doesn't turn out good at all. I'm so jealous of you guys. ;m;

[MystMist]

There is nothing wrong in following recipes and as for knowing how it smells and looks like that isn't needed, one just need to taste often.
Salt and pepper are godly spices so you don't need to use more than them if you feel it's to complicated getting the right balance.
Well two tips that should be given to those not comfortable in a kitchen.
1,Cook it slowly, no need to rush or use maximum heat, max heat is very hard to handle.
A good meal takes around one hour to make most often, from prep to dishes.
2, Don't wander off! People who isn't comfortable in a kitchen shouldn't leave food cooking on the stove or in the oven while going away from the kitchen. Burning things and overcooking is very easy to do if one does so.
Instead wash the dishes and clean the kitchen counters.

Suuuuch good tips, definitely. ^

Also, omfg. Lmao. Diana. DIANA. That made me laugh soo hard, holy crap. As soon as I saw the title, I was like "O LAWDY." XD because I know you.

But yeah, oh man. I wanted to make a carrot cake, so thank you! I want one for my birthday soo bad. I'll post some recipes soon! I can't think of any off the top of my head right now!

[MystMist]

Well since you answered i should post a new recipe tomorrow
Any wishes?

edit:my sister has been sick so i haven't had time or energy to find and translate a good recipe today, sorry

[Diana]

I was going for the laughs~

I'm cooking now! At work! I feel so pro! haha. There's a guy who is like, health junkie, and weighs all his food and stuff. And I can get it if it's like that. So we go down to the kitchen for lunch and cook together. It's chill. We're the RefrigeRaiders.

I can totally get it if it's like a science experiment, or a blueprint. I found a website a while ago-- cooking for Engineers or something like that. That I understand. Otherwise it's too hard. haha.

[MystMist]

Well have you ever read about molecular gastronomy? Maybe that would be something for you then?

[Lime]

Omg, Diana. Everything you do sounds like it's so much more work than it needs to be. "Cooking for Engineers" would make me pee myself. It would be impossible, haha. But "RefridgeRaiders" made me laugh so hard, I love it!

[MystMist]

If i had any artskills i would make a banner with "RefridgeRaiders" for Diana

[Diana]

Cooking is so hard. you don't even know. ;m;//

makes so much more sense than anything ever. lol

I've looked at molecular gastronomy before, but I think I like cooking with household ingredients I already own more than hard to get random substances that I'd have to order.

It's so great. 8D If you want to make a banner, that'd be super chill! We made a group on the company's chat program for lunch discussions. hahaha.
