kit-in-the-kitchen

I realize I am responding a a very old post, but I've just recently joined the forum, and as a huge fan of The Pleasures of Cooking, it caught my eye. I do not have any issues from Volume I, and only have issues 1 and 4 from Volume II. I am also missing the first three issues of Volume III. But here is what I've found in my otherwise complete collection of The Pleasures of Cooking: Volume II, Number 4 had a recipe for Chocolate Carrot Almond Torte with a mocha frosting in an article by Suzanne S. Jones. Volume VII, Number 2 had a recipe for carrot cake as a part of their "America's Classic Cakes" series. That is the only recipe for carrot cake that I have made from The Pleasures of Cooking, and I can attest to its quality. The article includes recipes for both cream cheese frosting and rum sauce. This is the recipe that is referred to in their index as "15-second Carrot Cake". Volume VIII, Number 3 had a recipe for Maida Heatter's adaptation of a chocolate carrot cake served at The Four Seasons. There was also a carrot cake recipe in Volume I, Number 5 (July 1978), but since I don't have that issue, I cannot supply any information about the recipe.
