Jokes aside, am really impressed with your diligence - you did so much over the weekend! :udawoman:[/quote]Haha, I always on the internet goggle for simple and unusal bakes/cook then plan ahead how and what I would like to do during the weekends..

Sat morning I did the simple muffins (without mixer) for kids Breakfast...Dinner is Aglio Olio plus pizzas (I prepare the ingredients in the morning while baking the muffins)...thus no fuss for dinner preparation after returning home from family outing in the afternoon.
I made Grass Jelly Logan drink which goes after the heavy dinner. To have less guilt, I discard away the logan syrup and replace with honey water, guess should be \"lower fats\"... :lol:

Sun dinner was Fishball noodles (heehee..Yet to post pic). While getting the soup to boil, I prepare Steam muffins ingredients (w/o mixter thus easier)....all these done in 1.5 hrs...

Compare with mummies with \"REAL SKILL\", mine is \"no big deal\" lah..Still On the \"hunt\" for new recipes for this coming weekends meals ya. Keep my eyes open when mummies here posting new dishes / bakes........

Hi Steadyberry,

Carrot Cake recipe specially for you :

Easy Carrot Cake

Ingredients :
4 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
I cup oil ( I use slightly less)
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon powder
4 cups grated carrots ( juice need to be squeezed out till quite dry)
1 cup each walnuts & raisins ( I use less walnut as not too fond of it – break them into smaller pieces )
250g cream cheese (softened) , a bit of butter + 5 tbsp icing sugar for the Topping

Steps:
1. Beat the eggs ( manually will do – this recipe doesn't use the mixer at all)
2. Stir in brown sugar
3. Stir in oil
4. Mix in sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda & cinnamon
5. Add in grated carrots
6. Add in walnuts & raisins

Bake at 175 degree celsius for abt 45 mins ( I use 21cm round pan) or until prick test passed.

After cake cooled, whip the cream cheese with some butter & 5 tbsp icing sugar (or more if prefer sweeter) – again I manually “whipped” using fork. Spread mixture on top of cake – I normally use a folk to make patterns and deco with some finely chopped walnuts.

For those who enjoy carrot cake, do give this a try - I think it can give Cedele a close fight...

The recipe calls for coconut milk instead of fresh milk which makes the muffins smell much more frangrance. The sweetness come most from the pumpkin, though the recipe calls for 100g sugar, I reduced to 80g. You can adjust according to your sweetness :lol: Not \"mee mee\" at all, texture abit like Huat Kueh. Taste best when Hot
