Friends have been asking for my carrot cake recipe.. so here it is....
The cake is special because it is not too sweet....
2 cups self raising flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups canola oil
4 eggs
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups of grated carrots
Combine and mix no 1 -5 above for about 30 seconds. Then mix in the grated carrots . Sometimes I also add in chopped pecans at this point.
Line 3 9in pans with parchment paper and and divide the batter equally in the pans. Bake in a 350 degrees oven for about 40 minutes. When a tooth pick inserted comes out clean the cake is done. Remove from oven and let them cool on racks
Cream Cheese frosting
250 gm cream cheese1 cup icing sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Frost top of first and second layer and frost all over the 3 layer cake. Chill and serve.
