Kitchen Notes
This would be a wonderful variation made in mini Bundt pans. If using a pan with 4 molds, be sure to reduce baking time to 30 minutes before testing for readiness. Loaves should be thoroughly cooled before frosting.

Made these the other day and brought some into the office with me… everyone loved them! Those that already had a starter on them asked for the recipe, to which I introduced them to this website!
Yay! This is one tasty recipe!! You are one happy baker, Wai!
I am so excited to try this recipe! Just 4 more days!
Looks fabulous! I am going to have to make some starter and try some of these variation recipes!
MY HUSBAND LOVES CARROT.
I’M ALWAYS TRYING NEW RECIPES. HE’LL LOVE THIS
Hi,
When I take my starter out from freezer and let it sit, than can I use that one cup and rest of ingredients for this cake. Somewhere I read to first add 1/2c flour etc? Is this right?
My recipe from the book for cake was so delicious. I`m trying the carrot next.
Another question, do you test all these recipes?
I have even started to print favorite recipes and put them in a binder.
Thank you in advance
Carolyn
HI Carolyn
Yes you can use the starter from the freezer, just make sure it gets to room temp. You will want to add or “feed” the starter if you are going to save another starter for another bake.

Rather than cream cheese frosting I dusted this with powdered sugar and like it much better. Much better than loaded with frosting in my opinion.
