Carrot cake is my brother's favorite cake, or one of them anyway! I made this for the holiday weekend. I hope you enjoy it.
When baking this cake you can make it as cupcakes and bake it at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Or if making it into a 13x9 you will need to bake it for much longer. Your times will vary depending. Always just check the center of the cake with a toothpick to see if it comes out clean.
3 1/2 cups Grated Carrots
1 cup oil
3 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup of chopped walnuts
1 20 oz can of DRAINED Pineapple
Mix all together and Bake at 350 until done!
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1/2 stick of butter
8 oz cream cheese
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
2 Cups of Powdered Sugar
Blend this all together and frost the cake after completely cooled.
This is a very runny batter. That is normal for this recipe.
When I was a young girl, my grandma would make carrot cake for all of her neighbors at Christmastime. I remember helping to grate the carrots. She passed away in October and this is one of thousands of memories that I have.
