Carrot Cake

Carrot Cake  

This recipe is from my husband's grandmother.  She was famous in the family for this cake.  I don't pretend to make it as well as she did.  But my Hubby really does enjoy it whenever I bake it!
It's another lovin from the oven recipe.

3 cups of flour (sifted)
2 cups of sugar
1 1/2 cups cooking oil
2 teaspoons soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
4 large eggs (beaten)
3 cups raw rated carrots
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup raisins

Mix dry ingredients, add oil, and beaten eggs, add carrots, raisins, and nuts.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Frost with Cream Cheese Frosting

  2. OOPS! sorry. I had posted this question on the cream cheese frosting site instead of posting here.
    Oh, I know what I will be baking for the church's dessert auction for next week. I just might make some fondant carrots and place on top.
    Thank you
    I see being it's a round cake; did you use 8 or 9 inch round pans?
    thank you
