Ingredients
  

Cake
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 c. vegetable oil (I use coconut oil)
  • 2 c. sugar
  • 2 c. flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 3 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 tsp. soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3 c. raw carrots, grated (I don't measure, but I grate up about 1lb of carrots)
  • 4 Tbsp. hot water
Icing
  • 1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
  • 1/4 c.butter
  • 1 (1 lb.) box confectioners sugar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 c. chopped nuts (pecans)

Method
 

Cake
  1. Blend sugar and oil. Add eggs. Beat well. Add hot water.
  2. Sift dry ingredients. Add to sugar-egg mixture. Beat well.
  3. Stir in grated carrots.
  4. Pour into 2 or 3 (9-inch) or a 9x13u0022 greased and floured cake pans. Bake at 350ºF for 25 to 35 minutes.
  5. Cool cakes and stack with frosting.
Icing
  1. Work cheese until soft. Add softened butter. Beat in sugar gradually. Add flavoring ana nuts. Mix and spread.

Notes

  • Mt family loves a 4 layer cake, so I modify this way: bake in 2 layers; when cooled thoroughly, I split the layers horizontally using dental floss so I have 4 layers. Double the icing recipe; don't add the pecans until after icing between the layers. So u002du002d interior has no pecans, but the outside is covered!

    • 1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
    • 1/4 c. margarine
    • 1 1 lb. box confectioners sugar
    • 2 tsp. vanilla
    • 1 c. chopped nuts pecans

    Method
     

    1. Work cheese until soft. Add softened margarine. Beat in sugar gradually. Add flavoring ana nuts. Mix and spread.

    Notes

    If I make a 3 layer carrot cake, I double this recipe. But then I have extras! What to do? Make a second carrot cake recipe and make it into cupcakes or a sheet cake and use the rest of the icing on that.
    Or, just be decadent and eat it like fudge.

      They are just precious puppies. I have a female and her son. We raised one litter and it was so much fun/work. I get calls all the time for puppies, so I will past this along if I get any calls in the next few weeks. I also have our male for stud if you know of anyone looking to breed (I live in Opelika).

      Thanks! They are work – but more fun. And thanks for passing this on. It’s going to be hard to let them go!

      Beth — they are darling. By the way, I wanted to send you a comment on one of your earlier posts, but the form isn’t presented. Is that a ‘feechur’ that comments are disabled after a certain period?

      So — my comment is for your November 13th posting. You said that you are using WordPress for your blog, but the link in your menu column says Movable Type. So which is it?

      Do you have any of your female puppies for sale or have they all been spoken for? I’d love a black female puppy.

      Leigh:

      I closed comments on old posts because of spam….

      And the answer to the MT vs WordPress is – JustLookin’ (this blog) is MT; Journey is WP.
