I have a carrot cake recipe. It takes a while to get all the ingredients together and it is really not simple to make. I will give you the recipe anyway. If it seems to hard I'm sorry. It is a wonderful cake. EVERYONE around here loves it. I can't make enough of them.











CARROT CAKE





2 cups plain flour


2 cups sugar


2 teaspoons baking powder


2 teaspoons soda


1 teaspoon cinnamon


1 teaspoon salt


4 eggs


1 1/2 cups Wesson oil


3 cups grated carrots


1/2 cup chopped pecans


1/2 cup chopped English walnuts


3 - (8 ounce) packages cream cheese


1 stick butter (not margarine)


1 - (2 pound) bag of powder sugar





Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon. Beat eggs and add oil. Combine dry ingredients with egg mixture. Add carrots and nuts and pour into 4 greased/floured cake pans (8 or 9 inch) and bake for 45 minutes at 300 degrees. Cream together cream cheese and butter. Add sugar and beat well. ( I always let my cake cool for a very long time, sometimes overnight) When cake is cool, frost between layers.
