Re: Anyone have a quick and easy Carrot Cake Recipe?
I love this recipe. It looks like a lot of steps but it's not too hard. If you want to save time you could probably buy the frosting in the supermarket but the homemade one is really good.
Vanessa Williams' Carrot Cake Originally from The Rosie O'Donnell Show
Cake Ingredients 2 cups sugar 3 sticks of super soft butter OR 1½ sticks of butter and ¾ cup of walnut oil OR 1 ½ cups walnut oil 4 eggs 3 cups grated carrots (less than 2 pounds: start with the sweet ends) 2 cups plain flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup dark raisins ½ cup chopped walnuts Cream Cheese Frosting ingredients listed below.
Directions Greased two 9" round layer pans or one 13" x 9" pan With the flat paddle mix sugar, oil/butter and eggs. Add carrots, mix well Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt Add dry ingredients to wet; mix. Fold raisins and nuts into batter Pour into pans: Do NOT Shake! Bake: If two pans, bake at 350° about 35 to 40 minutes If one pan, bake for 40 to 45 minutes Be careful; Don't shake the cake, it will fall! Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients 1 package (8 oz.) soft cream cheese ¼ cup soft butter 1 box (1lb.) confectioner’s sugar 2 tsp vanilla up to 1 cup chopped walnuts Cream Cheese Frosting Directions Work cheese until soft, Add softened butter, Beat in sugar gradually, Add vanilla, mix Spread over cooled cake and top with nuts.
