Parrot's carrot cake
Cakes
This classic, moist and fail-proof carrot cake was made for Dan-Dan the cockatoo on "Parrot Kitchen", a slick new cooking show featuring chefs from around the world. It happened to be the lead cameraman's birthday that day; perfect, since the two cakes I had to bake back-to-back on camera shouldn't go to waste! The director, AV crew and makeup artists all loved it, and could attest to the moist fluffiness of the cake (in Asia, the standard for cakes is very particular: cakes that are anything less than fluffy as a cloud and moist as a bread pudding are deemed unpalatable). <br /> <br />I've stuck to a traditional recipe here to give you a solid base to work with and then improvise as you wish. Personally, I like making a tropical twist to this recipe in homage of Dan-Dan's tropical roots: substitute the raisins for diced fresh pineapples and the walnuts for macadamias, and add some coconut milk powder to the cream cheese frosting.
