And for all you frosting freaks out there like me, the recipe makes that perfectly abundant amount. There was even enough for me to lick the beaters...a few times.
Cake:
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 cups oil
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups grated raw carrots
Frosting:
1 stick margarine
8 oz. cream cheese
1.4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 lb. confectioners sugar
omitted on behalf of the birthday boy: 1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
• preheat oven to 350˚
• grease and lightly flour two round cake pans
• mix dry ingredients, add oil and mix well
• add eggs 1 at a time, mix well after each
• mix in vanilla
• stir in carrots
• pour into pans and bake 25-35 minutes
• cool completely before frosting...seriously.
