Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 box confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

  1. Beat all frosting ingredients together with electric mixer on medium or high speed.
  2. Combine flour sugar, baking powder, soda, salt and cinnamon in large bowl of mixer.
  3. Mix until well blended, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add oil to flour mixture while mixing.
  5. Then add the carrots and the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.
  6. Stir in nuts and vanilla.
  7. Mix well.
  8. Pour into greased and floured 9x13-inch pan (***See Note).
  9. Bake in preheated 350°F oven 50 to 60 minutes, or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
  10. Cool in pan.
  11. Frost with Cream Cheese Frosting.
  12. ***Note:I prefer to pour mixture into 3 greased and floured 9-inch cake layer pans and bake for 30 minutes to create a frosted 3 layer cake which makes a beautiful presentation!
  13. Just before bringing to the table to cut, I sprinkle the top with freshly shredded carrots.
  14. Looks beautiful, you can only do it at the last minute, because they will turn brown if done to far ahead.
