Carrot Cake dengan Cream Cheese Frosting

Assalamualaikum,

I baked a carrot cake two days ago. First time I buat carrot cake. Before ni pernah. Pernah makan je :P Well, obviously I xde my own recipe. So, I intai-intai la kt google utk cari recipe yg suit my taste. It turned out, banyak teramat recipe carrot cake yg ada. I pilih recipe yg I rase seswai je. I mean, nama carrot cake, tapi kenapa nak kena letak nenas and pisang? Dah mcm mixed fruit cake pulak kan. I meant no harm. Kalo you guys suka carrot cake yg mcm tu, be my guest.

Now, jom check out the ingredients and methods;
