Sam's Famous Carrot Cake
My search for the ultimate carrot cake is finally over. This cake is AMAZING! I like my carrot cake with a little extra spice so I added 2 tsp. freshly grated ginger and 1/2 tsp. ground cloves. Perfect! I also used 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white... I like the flavor of the brown sugar over just the white, and it also helps retain the moisture of the cake. Also toasted my walnuts for that extra bit of flavor. Baked this in 2, 9" round pans for about 35-40 minutes. Frosted with cream cheese icing and decorated it for my sister's birthday. This cake is JUST like the one I love at a certain restaurant around here. YUM!! Highly recommended!!

Buttermilk Pancakes II
I must say I was pretty disappointed in these pancakes considering all the great reviews. They were definitely too 'eggy' as another reviewer commented, and not 'cakey' enough, which is how I would like my panCAKEs to be. I followed the recipe to a 'T', so not sure if there was anything else I could have done differently. Won't be making them again though. I will keep searching for the ultimate pancake...

Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie
Fantastic recipe! I made mine into banana coconut cream pie at my dad's request on Father's Day, by adding 2 sliced bananas to the pie crust. I did use a homemade graham crust, as well I used 1/4 cup cornstarch instead of the flour. (You only need 1/4 cup... cornstarch is double the power of flour)! Also used half coconut milk and half 1/2 and 1/2 cream. Didn't toast the coconut inside the pie, just on top. Homemade whipped cream on top of course. Great recipe! I'm sure it will be requested again!
