It's terrible to have that nagging feeling that it should have been better, though!<BR/><BR/>Hi Tiina - yes, me too. :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Jasmine - Ooh, make it. And then post the recipe. ;)<BR/><BR/>Hi Gigi - It does make me think I should find more places in my life for cream cheese frosting, too.<BR/><BR/>Hi Elle - Brilliant! Thanks so much. Sour cream makes so much sense. I shall treasure that forever. :)Annemariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13611096567139013824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819270143119857602.post-75576779326733514532008-02-18T05:33:00.000+00:002008-02-18T05:33:00.000+00:00The exchange of hazelnuts sounds like a great one....The exchange of hazelnuts sounds like a great one. A friend gave me the perfect frosting recipe for carrot cake...over 50 years old and you could frost a paper bag with it and everyone would love it, it is so good. Tangy, too. I think that's from the sour cream. Here it is:<BR/>Frosting<BR/>½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened<BR/>12 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature<BR/>¼ cup sour cream<BR/>1 tablespoon vanilla extract<BR/>2-3 cups powdered sugar<BR/><BR/>Cream butter, cream cheese, sour cream and vanilla together until fluffy. Then mix in gradually<BR/>the powdered sugar. Start with 2 cups and add to desired texture and taste by ¼ cup at a time.<BR/>Spread between layers, on top and on sides of cake.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733838869805925920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819270143119857602.post-75097832804387490562008-02-18T02:06:00.000+00:002008-02-18T02:06:00.000+00:00I agree with your husband, good carrot cake is the...I agree with your husband, good carrot cake is the promise land (covered in cream cheese icing).
