Labor Day Carrot Cake

Happy Labor Day!  For the second Labor Day in a row I'm making Southern Living's Carrot Cake with a buttermilk glaze and cream cheese frosting.  Instead of using wax paper and cake pans you can just use a bundt pan, and it is a lot easier.

Tricia Cordell...I'm thinking of you today and remembering eating this cake for the first time in our Portland backyard.  Thanks for the yummy recipe.  Mine, I can guarantee, will not look as pretty as the one pictured to the right (photo courtesy of Rachel Ray) but hopefully will taste as yummy as Tricia's did the day I first tasted it.  What's your favorite Labor Day treat?

  1. Sounds yummy....ours is a triple dipped chocolate malted ball, and dark chocolate. Yummmy. Susie has them at her house and we found them at the candy story in Hot Sulfur Springs. Won't keep these around, that is for certain!

  3. Cathy replied but I say the best is a full day of fishing for Brook Trout in a high country meadow and then eating a few!!!...it's OK all you "tree huggers"....the National Park Service encourages you to do so...
