Found this in another log and thought it was so cute it deserved a separate thread.

My son decided, 3 years ago when he was 8, we needed another holiday to celebrate so he decided we should celebrate cakes. Cake Day is the 1st Sunday in February-Sunday so Daddy can be home to celebrate...cakes!
The idea came from a Jimmy Neutron episode. So remember, February 3rd is Cake Day! Cakes Rule!

Was thinking about a particular cake, that's flour-based and is so scrumptuous it's called Crack Cocain Cake !
Let's be adventurous and celebrate CAKE DAY!
Virtual prizes for the one who gained the most after eating an entire cake!
(boy, it's been a year or longer since I ate that much cake)...
However, later on I realized that I don't tolerate gluten all too well. I don't mind a temporary weight gain, but I do mind 'losing' my mind.. I always have terrible short-term memory the days following gluten-consumption.
So.. I dug up this recipe for carrot cake since I adore carrot cake and can't buy it (easily) here in the NLs.
There's 2 problems:
1. I don't work with volume but with METRIC weight, so what's the conversion in grams ?
2. I want to use whole eggs not just eggwhites since the taste of egg whites only is nasty compared to whole eggs, so again, what's the conversion?
