2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
3 cups grated carrots
1 cup pecans
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
Cream sugar and oil. Add eggs one at a time. In a separate bowl mix flour, spices, salt and baking soda, be sure that it is mixed well. Add to wet mixture. Mix in grated carrot, raisins, pecans and pineapple. Mix until everything is blended. Pour batter into greased and floured baking pans and bake at 375 for 50-60 minutes. Cool and frost with cream cheese icing
Cream Cheese Icing
1 8oz. pkg of cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
1 lb. confectioners sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Cream together butter and cream cheese, gradually add sugar, beating until fluffy and of spreading consistency. Stir in vanilla.
For a special touch I also cover the sides with finely chopped pecans and make carrots from Royal icing. You really have to give this recipe a try. However, if you are counting calories be sure to cut yourself a VERY thin slice. Happy Easter!~
