"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Preparation

Here is a recipe, developed young man here in the Detroit area. With
this recipe, he won a $10,000 scholarship to Johnson and Wales
College, which is considered a top-notch cooking school, located in
Charleston, SC. This young man, Andre Black, spent 2 weeks developing
this recip, this cake was among the top 19 recipes chosen 270> as winners. Andre was on the front page of the Detroit News
yesterday, along with the recipe. The Detroit News food writer, Robin
Mather says "For a Carrot Cake, this is a hell of a fruit cake. She
found this cake suited to 3 8" layers.

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour three 8" layer pans. Combine
eggs, sugar and oil. Beat on high speed until creamy and thick, 3-5
minutes. Sift together flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Slowly
add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to egg mixture; beat well. Repeat with
remaining dry ingredients, beating well after each addition. Batter
will be extrememly stiff; it may be necessary to blend with a spatula
or spoon. One by one, fold in carrots, coconut, pineapple, walnuts
and raisins.

Divide batter between the 3 prepared cake pans. Bake at 350 for 40-45
minutes, arranging cake pans in oven once. The cake is done when the
tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let cake cool in pans 5
minutes. Turn out onto rack to cool completely.

When cakes are cool, prepare frosting: combine margarine, cream
cheese, sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Frost cake.
