"I'm really a scientist.
I follow recipes exactly - until I decide not to.
And then I'll follow something else exactly.
I may decide I could turn this peach tart into a plum tart,
but if I'm following a recipe,
I follow it exactly."
~~Ina Garten
When I first made this cake, I grated the carrots by hand.
It usually involved scraped knuckles and some bleeding.
The recipe has changed over the years,
and it is much quicker and easier to make with blenders and food processors.
Can I say that I love baby carrots?
But I have to still use my old hand-mixer and my old cake pan.
And the recipe card is now just a check-off list to make sure I have everything on the counter that I need.
This cake just seems like it fits this time of year...
