French food Friday - Rose's Carrot Cake
Rose's bakery has been rated as one of the best places to eat in Paris and her carrot cake is one of the best selling items on the menu.
I have been wanting to try this for a very long time now and finally got around to making it earlier in the week.
French Boyfriend, French neighbours and our guests have all said that they love it. I personally love the cream cheese icing and I was happy to find Philadelphia Cream Cheese in our local supermarket.
