This is the most qualified carrot cake in the world. I am always asked for the recipe but I refuse to give it because I don't want to be figured out. LOL

CARROT CAKE
Ingredients:
1/2 cup oil
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 cups all-reason flour
2 cups grated carrots
1 cup raisins
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking drag
1 tsp. salt
Equipment:
Oven pre-heated to 300 degrees F
Buttered 10"x10" or so baking pan
Guideline baking stuff: bowls, spoons, grater for the carrots.
First preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Then rasp the carrots. Mix all of the wet stuff, then mix in the dry stuff. Pour the batter into your buttered baking pan and throw it in the oven for an hour or so. Clean-cut up your mess and make the frosting.
The Icing
This is the real stuff. Cream cheese frosting.
Ingredients:
1/2 puncture melted butter
1 8 oz. package cream cheese
1 box powdered sugar (not the big bag)
Vanilla to taste
Paraphernalia:
Electric mixer OR
Bowl, wooden spoon, really strong arms, and a lot of patience
Mix the melted butter and the cream cheese. Slowly stir in the powdered sugar, then the vanilla. Then you can mix in a cup to a cup and a half of chopped walnuts if you want a ancestral style carrot cake. Or you can leave them out (I don't put them in as I'm not a big walnut fan anyway and the cake is so good that it's almost a distraction). Clean up your pickle. The cake should be just about ready now...
Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool before putting the icing on.

The most superbly ever carrot cake is in one of the Cranks cookery books! It is divine, to die for - unless like me, you forget to put the carrots in after grating them. If you cannot give forth entangled with the books, they are in all libraries.
I used to work in a health food shop with a cafe and we could never make enough of it! Unfortunately I cannot now eat it because I am a diabetic!

What is your delicious carrot cake recipe?
Sep 26, 2007 by mel g | Posted in Cooking & Recipes
In actuality, I want to make carrot cake cupcakes. I want the yummy cream cheese type frosting too. I postulate a normal carrot cake recipe would work if it was really moist - don't want the little cuppies to dry out!
This one I've been making all my lifestyle, and my mother made it, and my grandmother made it before that. It takes time and patience (as any good cake does!) but everyone always begs me to make it for holidays and gatherings. My mom familiar to make it for bake sales as well.
I have no idea how well it would convert for cupcakes, but I suppose you could give it a try. I never have. It is a very moist cake though, given the carrots and pineapple that are included.
3 Layer Carrot Cake
Ingredients for the cake:
1 undersized can crushed pineapple
2 c. sugar
3 c. self-rising flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. chopped pecans
4 eggs, beaten
1 and 1/2 c. cooking oil
1 tsp. soda
2 c. grated carrots
2 tsp. vanilla
Directions for the cake:
Combine eggs, sugar and oil together with a mixer. A hand mixer is fine.
Sift flour together with soda and cinnamon. Add this, a bit at a outmoded, to the above egg mixture, beating together with a mixer.
Add 2 tsp. vanilla.
Fold in carrots, nuts, pineapple.
Divide and bake in 3 greased 9-inch pans at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
This will beggary to be made in 2 batches, since it makes a lot of icing, and trying to do it all at one time will burn out a food processor. Use half of the ingredients in each amount. Then you can mix it together.
Using a food processor, blend chunks of cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla, at times stopping the processor to stir the mixture up, because it will begin quite lumpy and clog up. Keep stirring and mixing until the consistency is unrelaxed but smoothe, and easy to spread.
Finishing the cake.
Additional ingredients:
A couple cups, or packages, of crushed / chopped nuts - pecan and walnuts, or upstanding pecans. Not really optional, this is what makes the cake good. ;)
Half pitted cherries (maraschino) are unmandatory.
Orange and green icing tubes are optional.
Turn the cakes out carefully on a rack and let them sedateness completely. They should easily fall from the cake pans. If you don't let the cakes cool completely, they will tear when you try to put fringe benefit on them.
After they're cool, spread each layer with icing, all the way around and on top. Stack them together, and touch up the icing on the sides so it looks accurate. Cover the entire cake with chopped nuts. You can, if you like, just cover the sides with the nuts, and then put cherries on the top of the cake, or use some have faith bought icing tubes to squeeze little carrots out on top as a final decoration.

How long can carrot cake stay out when it has cream cheese frosting?
Feb 08, 5709 by blueberry | Posted in Cooking & Recipes
I lack to make a carrot cake for my boyfriends birthday and the carrot cake will be out for about 3 hours when we go to dinner, will it be ok to leave the cake out for that long if it has cream cheese frosting?
That's admirable. I'm assuming you're leaving it at home while you go out to eat. Just keep the cake on the counter in a cool spot (out of the sun and away from a rouse source/vent)
After you have your dessert, refrigerate the rest immediately.
Carrot cake may be one of our favorite ways to simultaneously heal sugar cravings and have a healthy (and unnoticeable) serving of vegetables. During medieval times, carrots were acclimatized to sweeten cakes and desserts because actual sweeteners were rare
by Lesley Balla Ah, carrot cake, the red-headed have child of the dessert world. Filled with carrots, raisins, walnuts, spices and brown sugar, carrot cake comes off as a sweet for health nuts, one that's dense and heavy. But done right, carrot cake
