Categories     Carrot

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups cooking oil
4 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups grated raw carrots
1 cup chopped pecans
2 cups sugar
(Cream Cheese Icing)
1 pkg. 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 pkg. 1 lb confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
2 tsp. vanilla.

Steps:

  • Beat together sugar, oil, and eggs. Sift flour with soda, cinnamon, and salt; add to sugar mixture alternately with carrots, and nuts; blend well. Turn into 3 greased and floured 8 or 9 inch cake pans (I usually cut wax paper to fit the bottom of the pans instead of greasing the bottom.) Bake in 350 oven for 30-35 minutes. Use a toothpick to test for doneness. Invert cake layers on wire racks or on paper towels to cool. When cake is cool, fill and frost with cream cheese icing. You can put chopped nuts in the icing or garnish the top of the cake with nuts.
