Carrot Cakes

We made some lovely carrot cakes, we used this egg replacer and was very pleased with the results, first time I've used it in cakes, usually use it when I need to make eggless yorkshires. L is getting very good at peeling and cutting the ends of the carrots, she did have a go at grating the carrot but decided she didn't like doing that. My youngest mindie decided to join in the mixing, normally prefers to watch but this time seemed to thoroughly enjoy the mixing and then using the bowl and spoon to drum on.
