Day #204 Everyone can cook - Chef Gustau

Amongst the phone rings, piled up Job Requests, unread e-mails, suddenly my mobile rang.
It was from my beloved aunty (mom of @Lily4R), telling me how delicious the Carrot cake I made she tasted yesterday.

Wow.
Honestly, I felt so happy.
My auntie is a master in delicatessen and I felt honored when she asked my the recipe.
The minute I came back home, the cake plate was empty.
Double happy!

Here is the recipe by the way:
