Good news for my K with luck, KM & those wee girls were so lucky.
I fancied a carrot cake but when I looked the two recipes I used to make, they seemed to have fortyblarydthree ingredients, lots of mucking about heating & beating - & require vast amounts of patience, one even had a small tin of pineapple fgs - so went looking & found on on the net which seemed easier. HA!
Until I set about making the damn thing. Took ages, & I managed to leave out some of the milk, only discovering it after I'd put it in the oven.Of course.
It came out more or less OK, slightly dry - that'll be the milk - but not bad. have put a couple of bits in freezer to see how it goes & might give the great grandsons some when they visit on Friday for the youngest's birthday.
Don't think I'll bother baking again anytime soon...

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
