Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 c vegetable oil
2 tsp cinnamon, ground
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c sugar
2 c flour (mum always used all purpose)
2 jar(s) junior size baby food carrots (or 1 small jar of each carrots, applesauce & apricots as a variant)
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (or imitation)
2 Tbsp fresh grated carrot (optional if you like a little texture in your cake)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix eggs, sugar and oil together. Sift together and add dry ingredients to wet mix, then vanilla. Fold in carrots.
  • 2. Bake in preheated 350° oven in a lightly greased and floured 9 x 13 pan for 40 to 45 minutes.
  • 3. Cool completely before frosting with your favourite such as cream cheese, butter cream or simple french vanilla frostings. I use canned frostings for the very sporadic times I bake cakes. Mum would make her icing from scratch.
