Carrot Cake....
I made this last week for DH and it was yummy. I didn't get quite the 2 cups of carrots (my hands got so tired of grating ) but it turned out good all the same. 1 cup of carrots would be fine. I also nixed the apple but the addition is probably tasty.
Ingredients: Cake: 1 cup sugar 1 cup cooking oil 4 eggs 1 cup flour 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons cinnamon 2 cups grated raw carrot 1 1/2 cups grated apple 1 cup golden raisins 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Cream Cheese Icing: 1 package (4 oz.) cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup butter 1 cup icing (confectioners') sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions: Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Blend together sugar, oil and eggs. Beat until slightly thickened.
Mix flours, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Combine with egg mixture. Stir in carrot, apple, raisins and nuts.
Pour batter into a greased and floured 9 by 13 inch cake pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool.
Cream Cheese Icing: Combine cream cheese and butter in mixer bowl. Beat on medium speed until creamy. Add icing sugar and beat until smooth. Stir in vanilla.
Frost cake.
