I know this has been discussed before but I am looking for a Carrot Cake recipe that of course is great but has a more cakelike texture. I have made some great Carrot Cake recipes but when you slice into them, they tend to crumble too much and make a mess on the plate. I would like something that when the slices are cut, the cake holds it's shape and looks nice when plated. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Lori V.

I use a version of the Cake Mix Doctor recipe for carrot cake. If you would like it, just let me know. If you are looking for scratch recipe try a search in the forums. I believe SquirrellyCakes posted a scratch recipe awhile back.

I make all my cakes from scratch, so a recipe for that would be great.
Sorry I didn't clarify that in my posting.

I really like this one and will be making it for my daughters wedding in Sept. I don't think you would be able to torte it tough, it is dense. The taste is awesome and it wasn't crumbly.

Now if I could just find a choclate recipe for the grrooms cake. So far haven't found anything I am impressed with.

Rodnecyk,

I DID try that one this last weekend. I was going to post a seperate post to you to let you know I LOVED it!! It was awesome, and I will be using it for my daughters wedding, it was the best tasting scratch chocolate I have tried so far, and I think it was my 5th one. I did use the chocolate that was recommended, but came home with the unsweetened instead of the sweetened, so I added extra sugar, and it still turned out fine. I will be making it one more time with the sweetened chocolate, before her wedding in Sept. I was able to torte it with no prblems. Thanks so much for posting that recipe!! I am very grateful,
Cindy

PS, is that Callebaut chocolate usually around 12.00 a pound? I went to a specialty store to find it, so I am thinking I paid more than I needed to. whatever it does cost, I will pay it because that cake was just fantastic!
