CITRUS CARROT CAKE
Found this at www.allrecipes.com when I was in desperate pursuit of a good carrot cake recipe. I found the icing recipe elsewhere online. When this was finished and iced, I made some plain powdered sugar icing and colored it orange and green to make--you guessed it!--little carrots on top of the cake! It was beautiful and wonderful with the added citrus flavors! I froze half of this cake and it seemed to work just fine. It's also VERY cheap to make!
