Carrot Cake
I'm looking for an easy carrot cake recipe that won't be to complicated to make. Cream cheese frosting recipe would be an added bonus. Thanks,
--Annie
Hi Annie,
I have a recipe that’s perfect for you: Carrot Cake Bars are super-easy cake bars that take only 15 minutes of prep! (The carrot decorations on top are cute, but if I’m in a hurry—or just feeling a bit lazy!—I usually don’t bother with them.) And of course, it has to be cream cheese frosting on carrot cake! You can use the canned frosting called for in the recipe, or make my easy homemade cream cheese frosting.

Question
Back in 2005, I received your cards; they were my first exposure to cooking from scratch and I still use some of the recipes now. One of my favourite recipes–and one that I’ve shared among many friends and family members because it is so good–was your chicken parmigiana recipe. It had a buttery cracker (like Club brand or similar) coating and mozzarella slices melted over it. It was quick, easy, and amazing. I no longer have the card and was disappointed to find that it isn’t among your collection. Though I’ve long since had it memorized, I had hoped to see it among the others and know that other families were enjoying it as much as mine does today.
