I tried making Goodweed's TnT Carrot Cake recipe for DH's birthday tomorrow and learned an important lesson. When making a multiple or fraction of a recipe, it's worth the extra time to do all the math beforehand and rewrite the recipe for the batch you're making. It's late and work dragged on tonight, so I'm a rather tired. Therefore, it's not terribly surprising that I forgot to cut the amounts water and molasses in half after halving the rest of the recipe. The thin cake I made out of extra batter has a great flavor and a lovely, light, moist texture. The 3 mini round cakes I had planned to layer however, fell miserably. I suppose I'll just warm and serve them in the dishes I baked them in with warm cream cheese frosting and perhaps a scoop of vanilla icecream. Oh, the other lesson: go to bed! Night all!
