Explanation:

STEP 1: INGREDIENTS/TOOLS

You may print this recipe here.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour (256g)

2 tsp. baking soda (8g)

1 tsp. baking powder (4g)

1/2 tsp. salt (2.5g)

2 tsp. ground cinnamon (8g)

1 3/4 cup white granulated sugar (395g)

1 cup canola or vegetable oil (250ml)

4 large eggs

1 tsp. vanilla extract (5ml)

2 cups minced or shredded carrots (approx. 220 g, about 6 medium carrots)

1 cup of minced/mashed pineapple (approx. 165g)

Frosting:

8 ounces softened cream cheese (226g)

1/4 cup butter, softened (60g)

2 cups powdered sugar, confectioner's, icing. (220g)

Tools:

Food Processor or Grater

Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer

whisk or sifter Spatula

13x9 pan

parchment paper

shortening

parchment paper

STEP 2: PREHEAT AND MIX

First let's preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (176C). Next let's add our eggs to a large bowl, along with our sugar, oil, and vanilla extract. Then using a hand mixer or stand mixer or wooden spoon, mix until well combined.

STEP 3: CARROTS AND PINEAPPLE

Next we will add our carrots and pineapple then mix them in until combined. A note about the carrots, I like to just buy the baby carrots that come already peeled, and then put them in a food processor. I prefer the smaller chunks, to the shredded carrots. However, you certainly can take normal carrots, peel them, and use a grater to shred them up. It is totally up to you! I wouldn't use pre-shredded carrots that come from the supermarket however, they tend to be really dry. Use fresh carrots if you can. :)

STEP 4: WHISK THOSE DRY INGREDIENTS

Now lets add our baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to our flour and mix them well with a whisk. Or you can sift them together with a sifter.

STEP 5: STIR IT UP

Now add the dry mixture to our wet mixture. Fold the flour in with a spatula, we don't want to over mix the batter, just until it is all nice and incorporated.

STEP 6: BAKE THAT CAKE

Now using a 13x9 inch pan, we grease it with shortening, you can flour it as well if you like, or use a piece of parchment paper on the bottom, which is what I like to do. And since I like a bit of overkill I also spray the parchment paper with some kitchen spray. The last thing I want is my cake sticking to the pan! :) Then pour the batter into the pan. Next bake it for 20 minutes, then turn the pan 180 degrees, to insure even baking, and then bake it for another 15 to 25 minutes. For a total of 35 to 45 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness. If when you poke the cake the toothpick comes out clean, it is ready to go! Now let the cake cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes.

STEP 7: YUMMY FROSTING

Now while our cake is cooling let's make our cream cheese frosting. Add the softened butter to the softened cream cheese and mix with a hand or stand mixer. Then add your powdered sugar, you may want to add it slowly, it tends to want to fly all over the place, haha. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl with your spatula once. Voila a nice smooth frosting for your carrot cake.

STEP 8: FROST THAT CAKE

Now you can leave the cake in the pan which is what I normally do, or take it out and put it on a cake board. Then frost it with your spatula.

STEP 9: SERVE IT UP

Next let's serve up a slice! I normally get about 12 slices out of this. Enjoy!!

Would someone mind helping me? I really need this answer but I'm so confused. I would appreciate any help :) and if you get the

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

When reading, you'll notice that the author primarily focuses on having the city change this, not the students or parents themselves. That rules out B and C. Furthermore, the author does not mention anything about the time the students get out, but rather, how dangerous the roads are. That rules out A.

I think the answer is D because of how much the author talks about the hazardous road conditions, so we can infer that the children are in danger when walking on Green Street.

What is Deaths attitude in the play Everyman?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

In the play "Everyman" Death's attitude is C. Vengeful.

When the play begins, the character Death proclaims that death is a weapon, employed to punish "every man... that liveth beastly/Out of God's laws." In fact, Everyman's fear of death originates not only because he prefers the material world instead of devotion for Christ, but also because he is certain he has lived "out of God's laws" and will suffer from eternal condemnation once he dies. That is to say, death is a mild punishment for people who led ungodly lives, since eternal punishment will come afterwards.

Please explain the cause and effect of relationship ? Add a lot of details as you can and of course some examples.

const2013 [10]

Well I'll just hit it kinda vaguely to hit it all at once. So imagine you do something nice for a person, like buy them a gift or a present, that will cause a fondness and a bond between that person and you, which in turn establishes a relationship. Pretty much, in order to cause a relationship, you have to establish a positive bond with the person or some kind of being. The effect of having a relationship would be something like a deeper trust in others, improvement of the same or other relationships, increased happiness and so on. (I'm just assuming that these are all positive relationships.) So, an example would be like, you see a nice girl/guy, you talk to them and become good friends which would result in establishing a relationship. After establishing a relationship, your relationship would become more intimate and you would become better friends, or maybe even become partners. You can even get a negative relationship by creating a negative relation, then as a result it would be a toxic relationship. The toxic relationship would then result in it being harmful.
