If a survey were done for the Top 5 Cakes requested, carrot cake would definitely be right up there along with chocolate fudge cake and coconut cake. Everyone loves a good piece of cake with a glass of milk or cup of tea. And carrot cake must be good for you. After all, it's got healthy carrots, nuts, sourdough, unbleached flour and eggs in it. Homemade sourdough ("The Mother"), gives this cake a deliciously unique flavor and keeps it moist. This carrot cake is made with the walnuts on the outside as a garnish. It can also can be made without nuts for allergy sensitive people.
Note: Sourdough can be substituted with an equal amount of buttermilk.
Here are some other recipes, and although not made with sourdough, will still satisfy your sweet tooth!
