Nutty Carrot Coffee Cake


Brother Ken concluded our sermon series on Waiting for God this morning. He left us with this:

What does it mean to wait for God?
Waiting for God means drawing close the Lord and surrendering all aspects of your life to Him.

What are we waiting for?
We are waiting for the rewards of heaven.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven... Matthew 5:12a


I made this for Sunday school this morning, and it received good reviews. It was delicious warm. I do suspect it's one of those recipes that will taste even better on the second day, after just a bit of waiting! There were a few pieces left, so I'll see.


Nutty Carrot Coffee Cake

Nutty Carrot Coffee Cake

If you like raisins and cinnamon, I think a cup of raisins and a teaspoon of cinnamon would be good in this recipe.

4 eggs
2 c. sugar
2 c. grated raw carrots
3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. soda
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup raisins
1 c. oil
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Beat eggs and sugar; stir in carrots. Add rest of ingredients, mixing well.
Bake in a 9x13 pan coated with cooking stray for about 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and pour glaze over warm cake. (I used a skewer to poke a few holes in mine, so the glaze would ooze down into the cake.)

Glaze:

4 tablespoons butter
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup milk

Many blessings and best wishes for a wonderful week ~ Connie

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...

 Mrs. Carter's Jubilee Jumbles  Mrs. Carter's Jubilee Jumbles Many thanks to my friend, Wayne, for posting this delicious recipe! I knew when I saw it that I had to make these for the "Lost Crew." They were a hit!  These cake-like cookies are simply delicious! The brunt sugar icing is perfect! This was one of Wayne's mom's recipes. Be sure to take a look at Mrs. Carter's original recipe in her own handwriting . I love that! What a treasure! I have formatted the recipe to conform to my usual way of posting (Y'all have been able to tell I have a format, right?;) I do like Mrs. Carter's version better, though! I am sure her icing looked much neater than mine! The kids were rushing me. Lost was coming on! Thanks again for sharing this, Wayne! These are wonderful!! ½ cup shortening 1 cup dark brown sugar ½ cup regular sugar 2 eggs 2¾ cups plain flour 1 cup undiluted Carnation evaporated milk 1 teaspoon vanilla ½ teaspoon soda ½ teaspoon s...
