Directions
Chocolate Carrot Cake with Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing, Every year at work we have around Valentine’s Day a little ritual called Secret Pals, where you draw the name of a co-worker and spoil them all week with little gifts At the end of the week you serve them with their favourite dessert and reveal your identity to them One year I had someone who loved carrot cake so I wanted to give him something a little different so I looked through my cookbooks and found this recipe, which is a bit different than my usual carrot cake recipes He absolutely loved it (and so did my husband!), I am only reviewing the icing as I made it to go on a banana cake It was very good and I would use it again Thanks for sharing your recipe!
