Pumpkin Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Candied Hazelnuts


While at Fort Wilderness last week, Janet (food service manager) asked me to make a cake that won a challenge on the TV show MasterChef. Ben Starr's signature recipe is delicious and beautiful--too bad he was eliminated last night! I made 2 changes in the recipe: it's a 3-layer instead of 6, and I omitted the cardamom spice. The recipe is at www.benstarr.com

So, how did it taste?

It was like a very moist spice cake. All at Fort loved it, and will be served for a special meal at the Ladies' retreat in fall!
