Freeman Allen's Carrot Cake image

The cake recipe comes from "Bakery Lane Soup Bowl" cookbook, but the Frosting recipe is my own. This is the best darn Carrot Cake recipe I have ever come across and I have made many! It's an easy and almost fool-proof cake.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 cake, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
3 cups grated carrots
4 eggs
1/4 cup chopped nuts
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 ounces softened cream cheese
1/2 box confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup softened margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Beat all frosting ingredients together with electric mixer on medium or high speed.
  • Combine flour sugar, baking powder, soda, salt and cinnamon in large bowl of mixer.
  • Mix until well blended, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add oil to flour mixture while mixing.
  • Then add the carrots and the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.
  • Stir in nuts and vanilla.
  • Mix well.
  • Pour into greased and floured 9x13-inch pan (***See Note).
  • Bake in preheated 350°F oven 50 to 60 minutes, or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
  • Cool in pan.
  • Frost with Cream Cheese Frosting.
  • ***Note:I prefer to pour mixture into 3 greased and floured 9-inch cake layer pans and bake for 30 minutes to create a frosted 3 layer cake which makes a beautiful presentation!
  • Just before bringing to the table to cut, I sprinkle the top with freshly shredded carrots.
  • Looks beautiful, you can only do it at the last minute, because they will turn brown if done to far ahead.

I'm not a big fan of cream cheese frosting, so I used a simple vanilla frosting instead. It was still delicious!

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts with pecans. It turned out just as delicious!
