Correction from last night:this is a special request for my friend Lola at lola's diner, over at http://lolasdiner.blogspot.com/
Anyway, I really didn't post my recipe for carrot cake way back when I first started blogging and she wants to bake it for that special someone in her life. Here you go love. I hope she likes it!

Funny I was looking for a Carrot Cake recipe yesterday. Do you think I could substitute Vanilla pudding for the butterscotch? I don't really care for butterscotch.

A tip - Did you know that you can take walnuts, soak sprinkle them with black walnut extract and they will taste just like black walnuts? I do this with my black walnut cake and no one knows the difference. And it's a lot cheaper than buying black walnuts.

Lola, I am sorry! I corrected my post from yesterday to reflect it was in fact you that was looking for the recipe. I read your comment and Michelle's and copied her link. My apologies. To answer your question: Yes you may use vanilla or lemon. Either one will do the trick. Let me know how it comes out! Fondly, DCRose
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recipe. I thought, wow, what a coincidence. Lol!
ReplyDeleteAll I got was grumbling from my 2 kids about the carrot cake, they were hoping for chocolate. However, the birthday girl was in carrot cake heaven. Absolutely loved it. I took a chance and used vanilla pudding because I had it on hand. It turned out delicious.
Thanks again!
at what stage is the pudding mix added
ReplyDeletethanks

Hi Carol, I am glad you asked the question because it gave me a chance to glance at the recipe.
ReplyDeleteFirst the amount of oil is wrong. The amount needed is 1/3 c. NOT 1 c. I posted a correction on today's blog. Next to answer your question. Put the pudding in with the dry ingredients. Thanks for the visit.
