it snowed like crazy last week here in seattle. and ok, i know that many of you (i’m talking to you, sister), live in much colder climates and deal with way more snow than we do in seattle. but it was still quite an experience for this california native!
since we’ve been back in california, i’ve made dozens and dozens of delicious cookies! but i didn’t get it together to take pics of all of them. so i’m sharing just three cookie recipes (even though lots of the pics were taken with the iPhone, and thus a little blurry): chocolate raspberry tarts, nutella cookies, and soft ginger cookies.
ok, so i didn’t take any pictures of this delicious recipe while making it. but it’s my favorite carrot cake recipe EVER. after making it for mike’s bday last weekend, i decided i had to share the recipe, pictures or no. it’s that good. enjoy!
this is a far departure from the yummy egg- and butter-laden chocolate cake my mom posted for y’all last week.
eclaire note: this recipe is very dear to my heart – it’s THE birthday cake for me, the one i requested year after year for as long as i can remember and the chocolate cake to which i compare all other chocolate cakes. my lovely mother – the one who shared her olallieberry cobbler with you a few months ago – guest blogs this special family recipe below. enjoy!
