I had the grandsons over for the weekend and well, there is a sign in \u00a0my kitchen that says ” A Grandmother Never Runs Out of Hugs or Cookies” \u00a0and I had made a deal with the boys that if Granny’s TARDIS cookie jar was ever empty, I owed them $5! On the morning of their arrival I whipped up a batch of Welsh Cakes<\/a>\u00a0which quickly filled the TARDIS but they just as \u00a0quickly demolished them!
\nNow normally I don’t \u00a0have a problem keeping cookies in the TARDIS but seems Mother Hubbard’s cupboards were pretty low on this particular weekend …therefore no eggs to bake with. ( I subbed in Egg Replacer in the Welsh Cakes)<\/p>\n

I did have \u00a0a bunch of carrots that needed using up so I googled Egg Free Carrot Cake which resulted in this Ingredients Only \u00a0list over at TheAnswerIsCake<\/a>. When I tried to follow the link to the full recipe I came upon a broken link…hate broken links! S’all good, I know how to bake a cake…<\/p>\n

Everyone loved the Carrot Cake! I don’t think anyone even noticed the lack of eggs and no one complained that it was not sporting the regular Cream Cheese Frosting they all expect on Carrot Cake; \u00a0I didn’t think an Egg Free Carrot Cake should be “contaminated” with \u00a0a dairy product topping so I just gave it a light dusting of icing sugar. Yum!<\/p>\n
