Sweet

Ah, home sweet home. I have returned to The Shire from The City. I survived the last few weeks of uni and am ready for a 5 second breather before I get crackin' with my literature review (I am yet to determine what I actually have to do for this). The great thing about being home, aside from seeing family and friends, is the amount of baking I can do. This is purely because Mother and Father foot the bill for the ingredients :D THANKS! So yesterday, I was sitting in the kitchen sorting out the recipes for the things I want to make over Christmas and my Dad presented me with a recipe card for Cranberry and Pecan Oat Cookies and said "So are you going to make these" . Funny thing is, I had picked up the same card from Waitrose but had forgotten all about it. Waitrose recipe cards and their Kitchen magazine are awesome. I love Waitrose. But let's not get into that, we could be here for a while.

I like carrot cake. However, I do not like it when carrot cake has buttercream icing on top. It MUST be cream cheese icing. Not frosting. We are not American. Anyway, This cake takes that carrot cake with cream cheese topping and makes it a 100x better. At the bottom, you have your regular carrot cake then on top you have a whole cheesecake layer of cream cheesey goodness. Not to sure wether this should be called Carrot Cake Cheesecake or Carrot Cheesecake. Or perhaps, Cheesecake with a carrot cake crust, eh eh eh. Snazzy.
