This used to be one of my favorite cakes growing up, I remember my dad always making it. I haven't had it forever and it totally hit the spot. I am not a huge fan of the walnuts in mine so I left them out this time.
4 eggs
1 1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
3 cups grated carrots
1 cup walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch cake dish.
In a large bowl beat together the eggs, oil, sugar and 2 tsp vanilla. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in carrots and fold in walnuts. Pour in prepared baking dish. Bake for 40-50 minutes.
Frosting:
1/2 cup butter
8oz cream cheese
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Mix all together until smooth, Spread over top of cake once it is completely cooled.
Always a great choice in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteMmmm...I can taste this right now.
ReplyDeleteI just made carrot cake this week too. Yours looks every bit as good and that cream cheese frosting is the perfect touch. I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog and I'd love it if you'd come by and link your cake up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/06/sweets-for-saturday-21.html
