Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

Carrot Cake Recipe As I had mentioned in my earlier post, I am trying my hand at baking. The more videos I see of beautiful desserts being created out of simple ingredients, the more I feel like baking. Now I did mention earlier that you don't need fancy blenders, but as I saw more videos, I figured that it does make your life easier as compared to using a whisk. So I went ahead and bought myself one. Turns out they are not that expensive if you don't mind buying a local brand - I bought Orpat hand blender from Amazon...
