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!
