Need a Good German Chocolate Cake or Carrot Cake

Try the "Red Oven" in Arlington at Park Row and Bowen Road. It's located behind the CVS and Jade Cafe. They have been in business for MANY years and have wonderful cakes and other food. Everytime I need a really special cake, I go there. Good luck! B.

Good morning Sonia!

I love this cake recipe. To save some grating time, I sub one jar of baby food carrots for 1 cup of grated carrots. Warning, only use 1 substitution or the cake becomes gummy. I like this recipe because it uses honey rather than sugar in the cake. This is a three layer cake. I cool one layer, wrap in paper toweling, then freezer bag for a quick snack later. Reheat in microwave, dust with powdered sugar and you're ready to go!

CARROT CAKE

Cake:

3 cups flour
2¼ tsp. baking soda
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. baking powder
½ tbsp. salt
1¼ cup honey
2 cups oil
6 eggs
3 cups grated carrots
1 cup nuts
1 8 oz. can crushed pineapple

Frosting:
9 oz. cream cheese
3 tbsp butter
3 tsp vanilla
6 cups powdered sugar

Mix flour, soda, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add honey, oil, and eggs, mixing well. Blend in carrots, nuts and pineapple. Pour into greased and floured cake pans (3 - 8"). Bake 350 for 35 minutes or until done.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, butter and vanilla. Blend until light. Gradually add sugar, beating until fluffy. If necessary, add milk ½ tsp. at a time until spreading consistency.

I know of a lady named Michelle Vincent that owns Sweeties custom cakes in Carrollton. Her cakes are to die for. Her # is ###-###-####. Tell her that P. Burnside said to call.

I just discovered "Nothing Bundt Cakes" in Southlake! I'm not sure if they have German Chocolate but I've tried their carrot cake and it's the best I've ever had! Definitely worth the drive to Southlake if you're not close by! Also, the cakes are so unique and can be stacked for bigger parties. I ordered the chocolate choc chip for my daughter's 5th b-day last week!

Red Oven in Arlington makes good cakes. Not sure about these two specific ones, but they are good at what they do..

There is an AWESOME bakery behind the northeast mall... if you are interested I'll look up their name and number (can't think of it now). They did my wedding and grooms men cakes, my baby shower cake, and cookies for my church... they are terrific!

If you have any desire to make it yourself, the recipe for German Chocolate cake inside the Baker's Chocolate "German Chocolate" box is really wonderful. My mom and myself have been making it for ages. Other than that, I like Aston's Bakery but I don't know specifically about either of those cakes. Good Luck!

I second the Swiss Bakery...that is my favorite German Chocolate cake EVER!

my mother in law makes the BEST german choc. cake! seriously!! she is an awesome baker and does orders for people all the time! i can give u her info if u are interested. she is in arlington...
