Rum Raisin Carrot and Zucchini Cake<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

This is another 9×13-inch baking pan recipe, which, in our opinion is one of the most versatile pieces of kitchen equipment in our home next to our slow cooker crock pot.<\/p>\n

Therefore, if you love carrot cake, you will love this moist and delicious version with the rum soaked raisins and zucchini. <\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> The raisins are soaked in dark rum for at least one hour before mixing into the wet and then dry ingredients, however, for better rum flavor soak them overnight, or to speed up the process the raisins and rum can be heated over a low heat for several minutes, then allowed it to cool at room temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2.<\/td>\nIn a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, ginger, and baking soda. In a separate bowl combine the beaten eggs, carrots, zucchini, brown sugar, walnuts, oil, honey, vanilla, and the rum soaked raisins. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

5.<\/td>\nWhile the cake is cooling, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a medium bowl and beat with mixer until fluffy and creamy, stir in optional fruit zest. When the cake is room temperature, frost the top then cut into 36 portions.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
