Added that wonderful carrot and fresh pineapple cake we had for Sue's birthday to our site so we can easily make it again. According to Ina Garten this is an 8 slice cake but with slices at around 670 calories each I would recommend 16 slices (or more)

To make the cake batter, in a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, canola oil eggs together using an electric mixer with the paddles. Beat well until a light yellow color.

Combine the lukewarm water, a pinch of sugar and the yeast in a small bowl and set aside to proof for about 5 minutes. It should start to froth up a little.

The original toad in the hole would use traditional English pork bangers. We have found here in the US a mild bratwurst to be a good substitute. Of course if you can get you hands on some English bangers, go for it.
