FRUIT AND CARROT CAKE
I found this recipe in the April/May 2009 issue of Health Cooking by Taste of Home. This cake is packed full of carrots, fruit and delicious goodness. The original recipe calls for dried currants; however, I liked the golden raisins. The batter is very thick and I found it best to mix well with a wooden spoon to thoroughly incorporate.

HARVEST CARROT CAKE
Incredibly moist carrot cake is a perfect way to wrap up a Thanksgiving feast or anytime. This outstanding dessert contains liqueur-soaked raisins and pine nuts, plus there's toasted coconut in the icing. I got this recipe from our Canadian magazine Chatelaine. I use Grand Marnier for the liqueur or you can use orange juice instead.
