Old Fashioned Carrot Cake image

This is a sweet, heavy delicious cake that you will never fail on making. I can't keep it in my house for any more than 24 hours... Everyone eats it as soon as it's ready. The kids love this recipe for a school snack too, it's so heavy and filling for a recess snack! You can add pineapple, raisins and/or walnuts if you like... I don't!

Time 1h20m

Yield 20 pieces, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons cinnamon (heaping)
1 1/2 cups olive oil
4 eggs
4 -5 cups grated carrots
1 (250 g) package cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2-2 1/2 cups icing sugar

Steps:

  • Grate 4-5 medium carrots.
  • Pre-Heat oven to 350.
  • Grease 9x13 pan (I use an air-bake pan with a lid so I can just refrigerate after cake cools and is icing-ed).
  • In a large bowl mix sugar, flour, baking soda, salt & cinnamon (stir together).
  • In a medium bowl mix oil, eggs & carrots. (blend on medium with mixer).
  • Combined wet & dry ingredients and mix till all ingredients are wet (Blending is not required).
  • Bake 50 min, check with knife. Cake should be perfect at 50 minute.
  • Blend cream cheese till smooth.
  • Add vanilla, blend.
  • Add icing sugar to preference of thickness. I like the whole 2 cups, sometimes a little bit more.
  • Refrigerate icing till cake cools (30-40 min) Then spread evenly over cake & enjoy!
