morning Kaye,
I made this last night omitting the whipped topping and maple flavoring. It made a nice consistancy to top a cake
I made the best sf carrot cake the other day, thinking about making the recipe again, but as cupcakes and top it with the pumpkin icing I made yesterday!
thanks for the recipe!
when i tried this, i loved it more than regular carrot cake that I've made pre-op!! I added more carrots and didn't put in the flaked coconut. the pineapple is what made the cake so moist!! below the cake recipe is the cream cheese frosting recipe
