Beat in dry ingredients until smooth. Put in carrots and pour into pans. Beat at 350 degrees 25-30 min or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 min, then remove to racks. Spread top of first layer with preserves, put 2nd layer on top and top it with preserves also. Add third layer and top entire cake and sides with cream cheese frosting.
  • NOTE: Grandma always made her own cream cheese frosting, as did mom. However, if you want to use a store bought one, feel free.
