cake is decadent and so easy to make! I can make this recipe and have a
perfectly finished cake and a spotless kitchen in 90 minutes flat! Feel free to
substitute walnuts for pecans, either is excellent. (Hint: If you have trouble translating
the measurements, a quick Google search is all it takes to translate cups or
sticks into grams, etc.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

3/4 cup butter, softened (1.5 sticks)<br />

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, prepare 2 8” round pans (grease and flour
well).<br />
2. In mixer bowl, add eggs and mix slightly. Add sugar, oil, and vanilla. Mix well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">3.
Add in flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">4. Fold in carrots.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">5. Fold in pecans.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">6. Pour into prepared pans and bake approximately 55 minutes. (See note 2.)</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">7. Cool cakes completely before assembly/icing. (See note 3.)</span></div>

<em><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">NOTE 2: My ovens over the years have varied greatly on this
baking time. Cakes are ready before they look ready – but not until an inserted
toothpick comes out clean. Watch them closely the first time you try this. I’ve
used ovens that baked this cake in 50 minutes and ovens where it took well over
an hour.</span></em><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<em><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">NOTE 3: Flip pans upside down while catching cake – just to
loosen the cake from the pan. Then sit the pans back down with the cakes still
inside them. Leave the cakes in the pans for at least 10 minutes so they’ll
hold their shape. After 10 minutes is up, flip cakes out and finish cooling on
wire rack.</span></em><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

1. Tort COMPLETELY COOLED cakes so you end up with 4 layers of 1” cake (or
thereabouts).<br />
2. Cover each layer generously with icing and stack. It’s nice if the icing
oozes out the sides. :)<br />
3. Cover the top with an illicit amount of icing.<br />
4. Decorate with a few whole nuts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.666666984558105px; line-height: 16.63541603088379px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
</div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">If
there are any leftovers, I refrigerate in a TRULY airtight container after the
second day – and that ensures cake will stay fresh not dry out. Putting any
cake in a fridge will dehydrate the cake if it’s not in an airtight container.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

If you didn't win an airbrush in my
giveaway and you want one as desperately as I do, just send Dawn a quick
message and she can definitely hook you up with some state-of-the-art equipment! Her custom systems are more affordable than you think; in fact, I was
actually quite shocked at just how affordable. This is on my Christmas
wish list for sure, and since I've hardly been bad at all this year, I have my
hopes up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Maiandra GD"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD'; font-size: 14pt;">I approached Craftsy because they are one of my favorite ever 'go to' help sites for my cake decorating <strike>obsession</strike>.... er hobby! </span><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD'; font-size: 14pt;">I’ve gotten the BEST on-line classes from them (see a review of some of my favorites </span><b style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD';"><a href="http://www.peggydoescake.com/2013/09/free-and-discounted-cake-decorating.html" style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD';"><span style="font-size: large;">HERE</span></a></b><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD'; font-size: 14pt;">), but even when I'm not in the market for a new class, I still obsess over their FREE blog which is full of clever articles ranging from fondant tutorials to cake recipes to general baking and decorating advice.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD'; font-size: 14pt;">If you're looking for a fantastically delicious way to use up summer garden vegetables, look no further. THIS. RECIPE. IS. GOOD. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD'; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD'; font-size: 14pt;">We ate this stuff all summer long, over and over, until we ran out of vegetables. When our garden got sad and gave up the ghost, we made it with store-bought veggies! It's SO delicious - and if you love it the day you make it, buckle up for the leftovers, which are <i>incredible.</i></span></div>

squash with about a teaspoon of salt, and allow to drain until they render
about ¼ cup or more of water. This could
take an hour or so. The MAIN trick to perfecting this recipe is to get rid of the excess water in the vegetables. So it’s important to salt the squash and
tomatoes and let them sit; this will force them to release water. This will yield a finished strata that’s
dense and not swimming in watery juice.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">I got this recipe from my
then mother-in-law more than a decade ago. It's been a family favorite
since the first bite! I've made tons of substitutions over the years and
basically every sub has worked ("baking Splenda" for sugar, diet soda, light crescent rolls, half
the butter, etc.), but the BEST result is from the following recipe IMHO.
</span><i><span style="color: navy; font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">No more comment needed. These things are

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Throw first four ingredients into a
heat-safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir well and microwave
another 1 minute or so, until gravy-like consistency. It’s fine if it’s
still grainy. Pour sugar mixture over
apple dumplings. At this point, you can cover with saran wrap and
refrigerate until later.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Pre-heat over to 350 degrees.
Pour 12 to 16 oz. Mountain Dew over dumplings (it looks like a lot of liquid, but that's ok) and pop in the oven. </span><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 21px;">I usually measure out</span><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 21px;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 21px;">about 2 cups of soda from a 2 litre bottle, but if you can find a 12 or 16 once can or bottle, that would work great. It doesn't have to be a perfect amount. </span><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">At about 30 minutes in, take them out and baste well. I just use a spoon. I stir the sauce a bit first in between the dumplings to get it a bit thicker. Then cover each dumpling generously. </span><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Continue baking until
nicely golden brown. I’ve been known to baste more than once.</span><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"> Or more than twice. </span><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Total cooking time at my house is about 50
minutes. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">1. Preheat Oven to

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">2. Toss butter into a large glass mixing
bowl and beat with hand held mixer until it begins to lose its yellow color a
bit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">3. Add brown sugar, mix briefly with mixer to incorporate –

<u style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Ingredients:</u><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">8 ounces (2 sticks) SALTED butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">3 - 4 ounces semisweet chocolate (nicest quality you can justify) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">2 tablespoons light corn syrup </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">16 ounces (1 pound) confectioner’s sugar (powdered sugar) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Liquid for thinning (see Step 5. below)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"><u>Directions:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Step 1. Using the paddle blade, cream butter until it’s very light in color. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Step 2: Melt chocolate carefully over double boiler or in microwave, being careful to not let it get too hot. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Step 3: Mix corn syrup into cooled (melted) chocolate and add mixture to creamed butter. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Step 4: Mix well and add powdered sugar straight from the bag or box. No need to sift. Continue mixing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Step 5: Add milk, half and half, or heavy whipping cream until you reach desired consistency. I typically add 1 tablespoon of skim milk at a time until I have “nearly” the consistency I want and then I add a dash or 2 (or 3 or 4) of heavy whipping cream. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">This frosting is so lush and delicious. It crusts beautifully and you can use the Viva method to smooth it. I love the silky smoothness of chocolate Swiss meringue for a filling, but to me, this icing can’t be beat for frosting the outside a cake. It does NOT need to be refrigerated once it's on the cake, but I refrigerate the leftover icing for a few days. If I don't use it within a couple days, I freeze it. It freezes well. Just let it come to room temperature and give it a quick whip with your mixer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Here is a cake I smoothed with this icing and a Viva towel:</span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Start
with a batch of SMBC (try my favorite recipe </span><a href="http://peggydoescake.blogspot.com/2012/03/recipe-swiss-meringue-butter-cream-my.html" style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">here</a><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">)
and incorporate room temperature caramel.</span><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">You can use anything from store bought ice cream topping like </span><a href="http://mojosavings.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/smuckers-caramel-topping.jpg" style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">this</a><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">
(which works “okay,” but you won’t get the best results this way) to homemade
caramel (nom nom nom). Let's make some homemade caramel together real fast!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Remember
to work quickly, caramel is temperamental if you don’t hold your mouth just
right.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 21px;"><u>For the caramel:</u></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">1
cup sugar</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt;">4
tablespoons water<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt;">½
cup heavy whipping cream<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Heat
sugar and water in small saucepan on low, stirring at first to incorporate and then swirling the pan instead of stirring as the sugar melts. Continue cooking on low, being sure to swirl
the mixture as it warms. Don’t stir it and don’t let it get too hot. When the sugar
is melted, increase heat to medium/medium high and bring to a boil. Set timer and boil for 2 minutes. Only when the timer dings can you swirl the pan again - and continue
cooking until mixture takes on an amber tone. Remove from heat immediately. Be
careful to not overcook – this can burn quickly and unexpectedly. As soon as mixture is removed from heat, count to 5 to avoid splatter, and pour
cream in slowly and carefully while whisking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt;">There
are lots of variations of caramel, <a href="http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/caramel_sauce/">here’s</a> a fabulous version
that incorporates butter. Swoon!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Remember to incorporate COOLED caramel into your Swiss meringue. After
icing is piped (preferably over a chocolate cupcake), sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. LOVELY!<u><span style="color: blue; mso-themecolor: hyperlink;"><o:p></o:p></span></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Maiandra GD","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">This method works great with crusting American buttercream, too. Find my favorite recipe for that <a href="http://peggydoescake.blogspot.com/2012/03/recipe-crusting-american-butter-cream.html">here!</a></span></div>

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I created my blog in March of 2010 (before I ever <b>baked</b> anything in my life) as a place to post my "someday" photos, as I had just started a brand new hobby: <b>cake decorating</b>. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Maiandra GD', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As I tweaked dozens upon dozens of <b>recipes</b>, researched ceaselessly (can you say "one track mind"?), and practiced away, I thought surely there must be others "out there" like me, trying to learn how to do this on their own. After 8 months of flying solo, in November of 2010, Peggy Does <b>Cake</b> was born on Facebook as a means of interacting with people who actually knew what they were doing. Sixteen months and 10,000 followers later, this has turned into something pretty cool. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

I’ve made so many friends and met so many talented artists in the last two years. I’m grateful to you for the hand holding, the virtual pats on the back, the reassurance that I am not crazy or obsessed *cough*, and the confirmation that although I may be all my myself in my kitchen at 3:00 a.m. on a Friday, there are thousands more just like me all across the globe, all doing the same exact thing, and none of us are alone in that.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
