Carrot Cup Cake Recipe from Silver Mamma Chef's Kitchen

Hello my wonderful Hivian friends, hope you are all well.
Mamma Chef's been out of sorts for a week or so with health issues. Nothing serious though, just a few niggles here and there, wrong medication to start off with because her usual Blood pressure meds were out of stock, the Doctor prescribed another pill, (No! my dears, not birth control) she has been a sports model for quite a few years now Lol!!
When Silver Mamma Chef went to collect her meds at the Pharmacy, she was told they were out of stock on her usual meds, the lady at the pharmacy phoned the Doctor to tell her they were out of stock and couldn't prescribe the prescription medication and asked what alternative would the Doctor prescribe.
Well!!... I think there was a miscommunication and a bad connection telephonically when the assistant at the Pharmacy took down the wrong information, I don't blame her, we all have been under a lot of pressure with Covid, Omicron and all it's rules and regulations, I'm not surprised one misses a link or two. I mean!...we all make mistakes, after all we're only human and not perfect.
Unfortunately that's how Silver Mamma Chef came to have the wrong meds which kicked her for a loop until Papa Chef stepped in.
Silver Mamma Chef doesn't like taking medication in the first place, she was very upset with the Pharmaceutical company.... after all.... she has been taking the same meds for decades, how dare they take it off the market.
Thanks to Papa Chef, he found a Pharmacy a few miles from home who had plenty of stock at hand and was able to supply us with her original meds, so!!...after a few tantrums and excitement over the wrong meds and finding the original ones, everything calmed down to a chill, also finding out the results from her blood test that she had high cholesterol and has to change her diet; Silver Mamma Chef thought she would share her Carrot Cup Cake Recipe before she started her special diet.
Omg!!....I'm going to need some help from my Hivian friends.

Delicious Carrot Cup Cakes

INGREDIENTS

• 2 Cups Flour
• 2 Teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
• 1 1/4 Cups Canola Oil
• 1 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1 Cup of White sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 4 Large eggs
• 3 Cups grated Carrots
• 1 Cup Pecan nuts
• 1/2 Cup Raisons

Frosty Icing

• 225 grams Cream Cheese or instead fresh cream, lemon juice, lemon rind (Silver Mamma Chef's version)😘
• 1 1/4 Cups Icing Sugar
• Nuts for decoration

Mix sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla extract together.

Add the flour, a little at a time and grated carrots to mixture and mix well.

Pour Carrot Cake mixture into pan and bake at 180 c for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

When cooled, ice with icing sugar frost.
To make the frosty Icing, use 1 1/2 Cup Icing Sugar, Silver Mamma Chef didn't have Cream Cheese so she made up her own frosty recipe, by using 125ml fresh cream, juice from 1/2 a lemon and 1 1/2 Teaspoon lemon rind, add the icing sugar until a stiff consistency is accomplished. (It's not to bad at all; Silver Mamma Chef never complies to a recipe he! he!) of cause cream cheese would be better)😘

Icing Sugar Mix

I hope you enjoyed my recipe as much as I enjoyed making it.

From Silver Mamma Chef's Kitchen to Yours.

BON APPETIT
