And now my own creation:(Sweets). It takes a few minutes to prepare, serve after lunch or dinner meals. as desert. I named it GO GO BROWNY NUTS because I was watching inspector gadget (cartoon) when I came up with the recipee.

Ingrediants:
Peanuts (Gyadda) - 3 cups
Sugar                  - 1cup
Coconut               - 1/2 cup
Milk                     -  1/3 cup

Note that measurements might vary according to number of guests.

Method:
Blend coconut into rough granules then bring sugar to boil until golden brown, Pour fresh, peeled,fried peanuts/groundnuts into brown sugar. Make sure groundnuts are coated in the brown sugar. Pour 1/2 a cup of milk and stir until paste turns creamy. Pour the whole contents on a flat plate & sprinkle granulated coconut onto the sweet and allowed to cool. For best result store it in the fridge.

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
4 eggs
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
2 cups grated carrots
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts (or you can use pistachios)
1 cup raisins(make sure you dont end up eating the raisins before baking)

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 10x15x2 inch baking dish or 10 inch Bundt pan with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside. In a separate larger bowl, mix together the eggs, sugar and vanilla by hand. Stir in the oil; the mixture should resemble pudding. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients, then fold in the carrots, pineapple coconut, walnuts and raisins. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and spread evenly.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a small knife inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Note:Feel free to omit the coconut, walnuts, or raisins as your taste buds suit you. However, getting rid of the pineapple will take away from the moisture of the cake.
