Ingredients:

Serving

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
3 cups finely shredded carrots
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup chopped walnuts
fluffy frosting:
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
additional chopped walnuts

Directions:

In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, carrots, cream cheese and oil until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to carrot mixture. Stir in pineapple and nuts.
Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
In a heavy saucepan, cook and stir flour and milk over medium-low heat until a thick paste forms, about 10 minutes. Chill for 30 minutes. In a large mixer, cream the butter, sugars and salt until light and fluffy. Beat in the chilled flour mixture until smooth, about 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Frost cake. Sprinkle with nuts. Yield: 12-16 servings.
