Steps:
- 1. Cream together the first 6 ingredients.
- 2. Add baking soda and flour. Mix well
- 3. Stir in carrots (3 packed cups grated AKA 1 pound of grated carrots)
- 4. Grease and flour pans. Bake in a 325 oven for @ 40 minutes. Makes 1 9x13 or 2 8x8 or 9 mini loaves (these will take less time in the oven).
- 5. Frosting #1 Soften the margarine (Or butter is what I normally use) and the cream cheese. Beat the butter with the cream cheese, add vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in nuts if desired. Spread on cooled cakes.
- 6. Frosting #2- Aunt Mary's Combine the flour and milk in a small saucepan and bring to a boil until thick and gloppy, this is where you think you ruined it, it looks horrid. Cool off in the refrigerator until cold. Put into a mixing bowl and add the butter, sugar salt, and vanilla. Beat until it looks like whipping cream, takes as long as 10 minutes, test to be sure you have dissolved the sugar before you frost the cake with it, if not then beat it some more.. Aunt Mary also adds 1 cup of chopped nuts to the cake.
