Delux Carrot Cake W/ Cream cheese frosting

Ohh boy... What to do with box carrot cake mix that is expired? Well I made a cake. I don't see much harm because its non-dairy and was sealed. What can go bad with powder except loosing flavor? I don't normally like carrot cake, so I went on a search to find one that could be really really good! The recipe seems really good, but I wanted some home made frosting so I found this.

For those that don't want to follow the links, the ingredients I used were

Cake mix, White Chocolate, Walnuts, 3 Eggs, Pineapple, Carrots, Coconut, Caramel Fudge topping, Veggie oil, Sour Cream, Butter Scotch pudding, Powder Sugar, Cream Cheese, Butter and Vanilla

I must say that I switched it to what I had available. Used vegetable oil and walnuts tossed in flour, and that if you can't find 8 ounce cans of carrots or pineapple 8 ounces is equal to one cup. I used 2 full packages of cream cheese and estimated it all on the icing. Kenzie was kind enough to help me get some ingredients, and that you can use white chocolate chips if you grind them up. Was quite amusing, and after doing it for a few minutes passed it off to Todd. I also did another little trick with the cake that I am not currently allowed to say. It involves a few things like butterscotch pudding and sour cream, but under threat of death I will wait till I have permission to include, I would hate to put one of my best friend/co-worker off.

Jo and Kenzie were going to come over to help make it, but then we remembered it needed to cool before it can be iced, and they wanted some for right away. I sprinkled the top with walnuts, chocolate pieces and coconut flakes.

Messy but delicious!

Results:A delicious filling cake! Sooo moist and turned out really good! . It could put some people off as being too sweet, but its actually not that bad. I think I need to work on the icing... Yay Jo brought her camera, that is why there are now pictures.
