My long-time Hill Country Mysteries friends might remember Aunt Flossie's Jalapeno Cornbread, one of our family's favorites. Since I published that recipe, a lot of other families are enjoying it too, judging by the number of page views here and pins on Pinterest.

Aunt Flossie was my grandmother's cousin's wife, known in her time as a good cook. When she brought a dish to the church supper, people headed to the line for "Aunt Flossie's __________" and her specialty recipes live on in her name in our family cookbook.

Her carrot cake is still my mother's favorite and I make it for Mom's birthday every year. The presentation would be more impressive if I made it as a layer cake, but a flat pan fits easier in Mom's fridge.

It's easier to cut too, which is good, since Mom eats it for breakfast and sometimes dinner. She's 89 this year and no one is going to tell her she can't have cake for breakfast.

So I'm sharing the recipe here in case you have a celebration coming up. I can't guarantee Flossie's carrot cake will take you to a healthy 89, but my mother looks great.
